Report: Fired USS Lake Erie captain instilled a ‘culture of fear’

Capt. Danielle DeFant was relieved as commanding officer of the cruiser Lake Erie in October. (Navy)
The commanding officer of the cruiser Lake Erie fostered a hostile environment on the ship by tormenting crew members before she was relieved of duty in October, according to a Navy investigation obtained by Navy Times.

Capt. Danielle DeFant — who commanded the ship for roughly 14 months — was ousted following an investigation that began after three unnamed subordinates aired grievances about “toxic command climate and/or sexual discrimination.”


A Freedom of Information Act request filed by KPBS in San Diego first revealed details of the Navy’s investigation.

The probe reveals instances where DeFant screamed at and berated subordinates — particularly the officers — creating a “toxic” situation.

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

That is all she did to get fired?  She's a woman, and judging from her picture likely gay, which means she should have been given much wider latitude to f*ck things up. :tongue2:
