“she has ovaries.”
That is exactly what her bio screams.

To her credit, she commanded a Burke and didn’t run her aground or collide with anything.

I honestly don’t think that Iran nor even Kim is crazy enough to attack the U.S. directly They don’t have to attack at all. The US will be defeated at the ballot box by our own citizens. With a little help from Dominion!

That was certainly a poor choice of words when discussing this esteemed lady admiral. My apologies to the admiral.
Instead, I should have said that she appears to be rudderless. Oh, wait. That implies something bad nautically. How about this: Her resume is full of holes.
That’s even worse. I give up.

Cmdr strike group is significant. Rest seems to be filler.
May have had some wartime experience but I don’t see it.

“Their food can now be resupplied by helicopter from carriers.”
Not while submerged.
To: whistleduck
That struck me as significant, too.
* Cmdr, U.S. Naval Forces Korea
* Cmdr, Carrier Strike Group 9
* Cmdr Carrier Strike Group 15
It looks like none of her assignments must have lasted longer than 6 months, maybe a year tops, given the sheer number of them over 38 years of service.
Without combat or war, how does one amass this huge number of personal awards?
* Defense Distinguished Service Medal
* Distinguished Service Medal
* Defense Superior Service Medal (two awards)
* Legion of Merit (five awards)
* Meritorious Service Medal (five awards)
* Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal (four awards)
* Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (two awards)

Easy. Those medals are basically participation medals.

Never go into war with a submarine crew, have you ever watched those guys in bayonet training? They are lousy at it.

Is it true that Joe Biden plans on giving 10 to China and 4 to Iran?? How much of a cut do you think he will receive personally for the Gift/Sale??
Um...no...ALL US Navy nuclear vessels are cut up and recycled at the end of their useful lives.
