Senate confirms first woman to lead Navy, fills Joint Staff vacancies
However, hundreds of confirmations are still blocked by Sen. Tommy Tuberville.
LAUREN C. WILLIAMS | NOVEMBER 2, 2023 05:02 PM ET
NAVY AIR FORCE MARINE CORPS PENTAGON CONGRESS
   
The U.S. Navy finally has a new top officer—Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to lead the service—after the Senate sidestepped a months-long hold by Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville.

The Senate voted on Thursday, 95-1, to confirm Franchetti as the chief of naval operations and Gen. David Allvin to be the Air Force’s chief of staff. Lt. Gen. Chris Mahoney was also confirmed, 86-0, to be the Marine Corps’ assistant commandant—and allowing him to step in for Commandant Gen. Eric Smith, who was hospitalized with a heart attack on Sunday after doing both jobs for months.

But hundreds of military promotions remain in limbo, thanks to Tuberville’s hold

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin commended the confirmations and condemned the hold.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I'm sure she will be an admirable admiral and do a marvelous job of "woking" the Navy. :pondering:

   She reminds me of the last Admiral to make the news.
