Lesbian ‘DEI Hire’ Captain of New Zealand Navy Ship That Ran Aground Has Been Charged With Negligence, Will Face Court-Martial Over the Sinking
Wokeism in the military is a recipe for disaster.
Let’s begin with a nice disclaimer: I am not suggesting that women can’t be ship captains, or that lesbians can’t run a ship.
What we are saying, though – and forcefully – is that ‘diversity’ hirings in military posts are likely to lead to tragedy – as it was the case of the New Zealand Navy’s HMNZS Manawanui.
It arose earlier in the week that the celebrated lesbian ‘DEI hire’ captain of the $100m New Zealand Navy ship – that ran aground off the coast of Samoa – has been charged with negligence over the sinking.

FEMALE NZ NAVY COMMANDER FACES COURT-MARTIAL AFTER SHIP SLAMS INTO REEF ON FULL AUTOPILOT!

Noticer reported:
“The $100 million HMNZS Manawanui, which was under the command of UK-born homosexual Yvonne Gray, crashed on the south side of Upolu on October 5, 2024, due to human error including failure to turn off autopilot, an inquiry found last year.
Commander Gray, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Gajzago and a third officer will now face court-martial over the disaster, which was the navy’s first ship loss since World War 2, and resulted in New Zealand paying Samoa NZ$6 million in compensation for environmental destruction that resulted from the crash.”
“The charges were laid and certified for trial on Monday, and while pleas have not been entered Commander Gray indicated through her lawyers that she intends to fight the allegations, The New Zealand Herald reported.”
Daily Mail reported:
“Cdr Gray, who served in the Royal Navy for almost 20 years, faces charges including that she was absent from the ship’s bridge while within a nautical mile (1.8km) of a reef, The Times reported.
She also faces a charge of failing to manage the risks of conducting hydrographic work in uncharted waters close to reefs. [She] faces a maximum of two years’ imprisonment if convicted.”
“A military court of inquiry found human error caused the ship to sink, with senior crew failing to notice autopilot was on as they struggled to control a thruster and stop it running aground.”
