Speaking of Women! Can ya believe it? Well, that isn't what I intended. I'll try again if I can find it. It was gone, it's often difficult to go back and find something that was posted...

Can ya believe it? Well, that isn't what I intended. I'll try again if I can find it. It was gone, it's often difficult to go back and find something that was posted on Facebook, at least it is for me.

It was a post describing the female naval officer's crew of a ship. They were having a hissy fit with one another and weren't speaking, which caused a communication break down and the ship running aground, or some kind of a accident. All were court-martialed.

Perhaps you are lucky and should count your blessings that you can't find it, given your title. You do know that men have run ships aground, right?

Lololol, I’m hugging you right now.. Truer words not spoken!!

This seems a bit out there too...

I couldn’t find anything on point to the thread other than this and its old..

There were plenty of men who ran aground on others but they were older than this one...

She came from a respected naval family - her father was also a captain and her brother-in-law an Admiral - and she raced up through the ranks. Capt Graf seemed to have the toughness and qualities needed to take her to the very top - brilliant at seamanship, fiercely determined, and a thinker with an outstanding academic record who was at last showing that the US Navy could produce female commanders as good as their male comrades.
As she left harbour in the Mediterranean early in 2003 there was more riding on her shoulders than simply the command of the U.S.S. Winston S Churchill and her crew. She was a role model, opening the Navy's higher echelons to female officers, and helping to make up for a history of sexual and g****r problems such as the Tailhook scandal in 1991 when aviators assaulted dozens of women.
But today her career is in tatters. Capt Graf was relieved of her command after a top-level Navy investigation found that she had subjected her own crew to "cruelty and maltreatment". It found that she unleashed expletive-ridden tirades that demeaned and humiliated crew members - men as well as women - and she earnt a reputation as a captain who was feared, not respected.
Her crew gave her nicknames intended to sum up the malice and spite they thought she felt for them - the Sea Witch, Horrible Holly, and Miss Bligh, in a reference to the tyrannical captain of HMS Bounty who caused the most famous mutiny in the Royal Navy's history in 1789.

Yeah, I've heard reports, but none were caused by refusing to talk to one another. Nor was those incidents keep from the public, as I understand this one was.

When I was in the army, many women were tramps. Some were looking for husbands. I would say less than 18% were really there for actual work.

It was the destroyer Fitzgerald in the Far East.

It was struck on the starboard side by a freighter, k*****g several sailors.
