New Zealand Royal Navy Ship Helmed By Country’s First Lesbian Captain Sinks
There may be a reason that commercials for militaries around the world only seem to air commercials with traditional masculine soldiers on the heels of war. Progressive policy making bringing DEI to the military has been chastised for much more than just political posturing, it’s been highlighted as an imminent national security risk. Proponents of defense policy making that focuses on inclusivity rather than meritocracy were confronted with the validity of the argument against them following the sinking of the Royal New Zealand Navy’s HMNZS Manawanui.
The vessel became the first ship in New Zealand’s fleet to sink since World War II after it caught fire and capsized just one nautical mile from the Samoan island of Upolu in the early hours of Sunday morning. The ship is also the first to be lost during peacetime in the history of New Zealand. Before meeting that ignominious fate, the ship had already made made history when it became captained by Yvonne Gray, the first lesbian captain to named by the Royal New Zealand Navy. In the wake of the sinking, criticism about the merit of her appointment has become amplified.
Isn’t the Captain suppose to go down with the ship?
Apparently, in New Zealand’s woke navy, they still go down, only not with the ship!
LOLOLOL OLOL OL O L
That poem is priceless…please tell me you authored it Sir Strider
perfect syntax ( sin tax ? )
🙂
Of course! I ain’t no plagiarist.
Thats Brilliant Strider
We need to market you
Perhaps someone might send it to a NZ news site.
When I saw that picture, I had to post. With apologies to Christopher Marlowe, and to Helen of Troy, that is a face that could sink a thousand ships!
Perfect example of a sick twisted freak…
You’re right, boom! I think I was born that way.
Such a goof…the twit captain, not you…which you already knew, you comedian.
So NZ has become as idiotic as Kanada and the USA
Strider on fire tonite
So if I am reading this story right, there were no heroics where suppression of the fire was concerned. The captain instead put all effortds into making sure the crew got off the ship before their lives were endangered. As a result there wer no injuries, no burns, no visits to the hospital and naturally no ship. Obviously this is not the usual story. In days past the entire crew could be sacrificed in valiant efforts to save a doomed ship and nobody would bail out except those thrown overboard by explosions. What would a real Admiral have done under fire?
A real seaman wouldn’t believe this bullshit story for a second. He would know that a minor fuel leak would be easily dealt with by a competent crew, properly trained. This DEI hire ran her ship aground because she was incompetent. The NZ political and military elite will spend the next six months doing pr nonsense to exculpate themselves from the proper consequences of their foolishness. No doubt this idiot lesbian will be promoted to a highly paid desk job, so long as she keeps her mouth shut about everything, and the accepted story will be exactly as you described, Farmer.
Exactly.
You know what Strider? This ship disaster was a deliberate act of sabotage like so many others we see anymore. Crashed bridges, burned out cities, weapons abandoned in terror states like Afghanistan, food processors destroyed in the night etc etc. So whats special about a brand new ship being destroyed on its maiden voyage? This is almost cookie cutter destruction at this stage as Western military, its assets and men are wasted or destroyed. This sinking was deliberate. Its designed to further weaken the West in advance of direct Chinese or Russian aggression which is anticipated in a few years time. They have already given away most ammo to Israel and Ukraine. So now they can wreck the naval assets too and make the future losses assured.
