How Vice Admiral Lisa M Franchetti became the U.S. Navy's only female fleet commander

[@randyw.8781]

Shes now a full admiral and Chief of Naval operations and a member of the joint Chiefs of Staff. She is the first woman to be chief of naval operations, and the first woman to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

[@Bartley832]

She was my CO on USS ROSS!!! Proud of her achievements

[@evanunderberg2049]

now she the CNO

[@sultantouma5437]

As a serving officer in the fleet, I have never heard a disparaging or negative word about ADM Franchetti and I am waaay down on the totem pole. Everyone seems to have faith in her. I hope she is able to navigate the DC world and make the Navy the best it can be. I am aware that she was not Lloyd Austins first pick for CNO but I still think Pagano as INDOPACOM and Franchetti as CNO is the right combination for the future.

[@renatosureal]

W00ke. She will send you to war w/o ever being to one.

[@boostjunkie2320]

she is a shining example that you have no excuses to be what you set out to be. drop all excuses and overcome your obstacles.

I recently left Naples, Italy after spending 3.5 years serving there, I was proud to be one ADM Franchetti’s pilot for years, everything said here is true. She was one of my favorite ADM to fly, she is an awesome lady. Her husband and daughter are awesome people awesome.

[@raodurvasula125]

None of these commanders don't come close to commanders like Nimitz, Halsey, and others of world war II. These appointments are what you might call feel good appointments, and I wonder they can stand up to pressures of combats.

[@irismckay6472]

What a cynical perspective. I see no evidence that Vice Admiral Franchetti wouldn't rise to the pressures of combat. That's what I feel good about.

[@maxine0047]

So cool to come back now since she is now the Chief of Naval Operations!

[@jasondessing3508]

She looks like she could be a tough little fighter. But, does she own up to Chester W. Nimitz who said: "Nope, that's not the main body of the Japanese Fleet. Go look elsewhere!" They did, and they won the Battle of Midway.

[@orvilleh.larson7581]

The acid test of command is performance in battle. Personally, I pray that this country will always have naval commanders the likes of Nimitz, Spruance, Marc Mitscher, "Pug" Ainsworth, "Jocko" Clark, et al. Franchetti ? We just don't know. . . .

[@jasondessing3508]

@@orvilleh.larson7581 I noticed that you didn't mention Adm. "Bull" Halsey. What's your opinion on him?

[@jenniferelkins8107]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this story! I have 2 daughters serving in the Navy. One has been in for 8 yrs and the recently graduated high school, left behind academic scholarships for college and enlisted. Definitely wasn't my choice for either of them but my oldest daughter taught me a lot and is a fabulous role model for her little sister. Both of them are at important turning points in their Naval Careers so this story couldn't have come at a more opportune time. The Navy really needs to learn many lessons about retention policies. They give it lip service right now but it is not put into practice. They still have "their's another one to fill your boots" mentality and it's about numbers and paperwork.

[@Saicharan-hk9id]

I'm sure you are proud. I am an army guy here. What are their roles ?

[@jenniferelkins8107]

​@@Saicharan-hk9id My oldest daughter is in logistics, she served 6 yrs in Japan. She was attached to a Squadron so about half of that was spent on a Carrier. She planned to go college when she reenlisted for four more yrs and was stationed in CA, BUT the POLICY changed and BUDGETED was slashed for enlisted personnel. The maximum the Navy will now pay for, AFTER SHE SIGNED FOR 4 MORE YRS, is a SEMESTER per yr. So at this point, as in the next month or two, she has to decide if she's going to reenlist again and get her new orders in. Additionally, they are paying HUGE sign on bonuses for new recruits or to recent veterans to entice them back because fleet numbers are so low, reenlistment bonuses are minuscule in comparison. Making those who have served feeling even more undervalued than they did unfortunately. The Navy further demonstrates LOYALTY is a one way street by this action. My youngest went to Corpsmen Training after accelerated boot camp, she didn't complete the training was recently given her new rate options. They are horrible! When she enlisted she qualified for just about everything, seriously, her scores were just short of nuclear rates. She had nearly full ride to college, this is A RECRUIT THEY REALLY WANTED and she was considering career. Now they don't want to take the time to match her up with the appropriate for her and most importantly for the NAVY! (btw don't know why my font is red and can't change it lol)

During my last sub duty I was given the position of career counselor and set about to encourage my fellow sailors whose time came to decide to go on to civilian life or continue a career in the Navy. The best advice I ever got was to counsel the sailors at home with their wives present. We had a phenomenal retention rate for the time I served in that honorable position and would hope counselors would take the same advice that made us successful. My heartfelt congratulations, Navy mom, that you have daughters serving in our US Navy. You must be as proud as I am and hopeful that regardless of their tenure that they learn about their service, their jobs, and themselves as fine young Americans.

[@starbase218]

Sorry, but wanting to see someone like you in a leadership position is not a reason to make that happen. They should get there on merit. If she did, good. If not, I would feel insulted in her position.

Everything from the Admiral's 38+ years of service, to the many various commands she's held, to the awards that adorn her uniform give me high confidence she'd do a phenomenal job as the next CNO. In addition Franchetti is very much a people person who cares so much about the personnel under her command!
