“America’s Navy values diversity, equality and inclusivity,” the woke Navy leadership claims. “We believe that when a diverse group of individuals come together to do a job, they can do it better because of their differences.”
The Year of Hate helped accelerate the woke destruction of the US Navy.
Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michael Gilday announced that he wanted to change the Navy. While the title of the video of his remarks was “One Team, One Navy”, its divisive message was that the Navy was racist and only “conversations” about race would help.
Gilday “shared” videos of naval personnel claiming that America was racist and that they were angry. “Being African-American in America is not fun,” an aviation technician claimed.
A lieutenant commander claimed that he had experienced “systemic racism” and “implicit bias”. A white corpsman urged that “we can stand up for change” and declared that, “tomorrow’s Navy will finally stand on the right side of history when we realize that black lives matter.”
“I have become very aware of my privilege as a white person,” a female musician confessed. Then she claimed that “this country has a history of systemic racism” and called for creating a “country that is more equitable and just.”
The video closed with Gilday vowing to eliminate “systemic racism” with a new task force.
How’s that working out? The “diverse group of individuals” can’t seem to get anything done beyond DEI sessions.
The Navy’s top admiral and civilian secretary have still not responded to questions about a damning Navy report released Tuesday outlining the sweeping failure of the Navy and its industrial partners to make expected progress on two submarine programs, an aircraft carrier and a new class of frigates.
The delays, from one to three years each depending on the program, come as the Navy and Pentagon pour billions into modernizing and upgrading shipyards in an attempt to build and repair ships more quickly and keep pace with China. Beijing’s navy has already surpassed the U.S. in size.
The revelations came in a one-page fact sheet the Navy put together outlining the findings of Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro’s 45-day shipbuilding study which he ordered in January. Neither Del Toro or the service’s top officer, Adm. Lisa Franchetti, released a statement or commented on the report, which shows a total of 11 years worth of delays across the affected programs.
Two classes of nuclear-powered submarines lead the list of delays, one of which will be the main carrier of the nation’s sea-based nuclear missiles.
Aware of the issues for years, the Navy is still unsure how to fix them.
“We don’t have detailed plans of action, milestones, initiatives — we are identifying and deeply looking into where we are now in a ‘get real, get better’ approach,” Nickolas Guertin, the Navy’s senior acquisition executive, told reporters at the Pentagon on Tuesday after unveiling the results of the Navy-ordered 45-day study.
“We found that we have issues that need to be resolved,” he said. “But we don’t have all those things completely nailed down yet.”
More videos about systemic racism should do it. And diversity. Diversity can fix anything.
We may no longer have a US Navy capable of taking on China, but at least everyone is respecting everyone else’s pronouns.
COULD NOT PUT OUT THE FIRE aboard USS Bonhomme Richard, when the ship was dockside at San Diego with the abundance of fire fighters, fire fighting gear, and water.
No. You’re not really.
I staff the paperwork for the contracts, including breakouts to subcontractors and also getting the hourly rates approved.
Yesterday's post, but very true to those that live the Navy life. Or what was the Navy life.

You're right but their excuse is lead poisoning.
Hmm. We're having problems with forever chemicals in our water supply.
As an ex-military wife, mom, grandmother and widow, I agree wholeheartedly with you.
I finished a couple of history books on WWII in the Pacific Theater and I think we will never see that caliber of men on ships again. Viet Nam was almost as good, as far as men were concerned because of their role models, though VN was more of a ground war.
Then came the pacifists who thought their parents were the enemy, and that brings us to today. We need to bring back God in everything we do, every place we work, and never forget to defend the Constitution of the USA! (So let it be said, so let it be done. -- Yul Brynner as Pharoah)

;o]
You know, I have been thinking about this lately with respect to defending our nation. (Really defending it, not going to war over something like Ukraine)
I am not sure our country has that anymore. The Left has worked hard, very hard, to vilify our country in the eyes of our youth.
If something came up, say we had to go to war for a valid reason...would we be able to raise a military?
I am not sure we would. And that cuts me to the bone (if you see my Freep Page, you would, I think, understand why)
And by the way-thank you for your service as a military wife. The spouses of military personnel have never received the recognition due, because that can be a hard road in life. There are separations, disagreements over responsibilities, finances, child rearing, you name it. My parents went through it all and came out on the other side, as you sound you did.
God Bless you and yours, FRiend.
No. Our treasury is empty. We are full tilt printing and stealing money. When your accounting is digital debasing the currency is fre and instantaneous.
Now everybody in the Navy “respect’s” each other’s pronouns
..... But They Can’t Figure Out How to Build Ships.

DEI and the Woke mentality have also infected Boeing and their contractors. The negative manifestations are evident across all segments of society and it’s all very deliberate Communist subversion.
I loved my life as a military wife. I wouldn’t have traded those years for anything. Nothing as glamorous as your parents had, I’m sure. Thank you for your kind words. And for your own service as a “Navy brat.” The kids have to serve right next to mom, and that’s not always an easy job.
I think this country would raise up in arms if nothing else, against our own selfish leftist government. It may be the only way the Constitution is saved, and saving the Constitution is the only way our government, as it was intended to stand, will survive.
Along the coast I guess.
Ships must have three “heads”; men, women and not sure.
I thought the ships had to have 52 heads and there was no room left for an engine.
But I wouldn't trade it for the world.
My dad was serving on a destroyer over in Korea, and in 1952 he proposed to my mom using a ship-to-shore telephone connection (which in those days I believe involved a Ham Radio operator ashore) and told her "Marry me and we'll see the world together!)
Which she did...they did...and we all did.
You might enjoy this link below this picture of us on part of our "journey" and shows my dad driving us through Europe in a rented VW bus...note all the camping gear tied to the roof!
Odyssey of A Navy Family (From "All Hands Magazine"
All Hands" magazine was the official public affairs publication of the US Navy, and they published this article after it was submitted.
I give my mom and dad credit...to take a family of eight on a camping trip across the USA on our way to the Far East, and then to take another trip through Europe on our way home was quite the undertaking.
Thanks...
Very good post.
It’s all part of their “Death by a thousand cuts” to take down America. Pretty soon the host bleeds to death.
It goes on 24/7 from every possible angle.
I think we all might agree, while we weren’t paying close attention, they metastisized DEI cancer into nearly every single fissure of our national brain.
The real challenge for patriots is: How do we back this truck up?
No doubt. He cut his jib as one of the primary drivers behind the illegal mRNA "vaccine" mandates which has killed and injured more people in the US Navy than the enemy has since WWII.
I suspect when the Chinese finally get around to pulling down our "woke" and collapsing Navy they may kill more even than that because of useless perfumed turds like him. Nimitz and Halsey would have kicked him out of the room if he showed up back then.
