Trained to be a teacher, hoped to own a restaurant, went to sea and was moved from vessel to vessel, and then--in daylight clear weather--under her command a data-gathering ship ran aground, caught fire, and sank.

This is not an impressive résumé.

I guarantee in the British Navy she was promoted upwards to get rid of her from every unit she infested. Same thing happened in the Met Police - D.E.I criteria plus you couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery and the leadership would actively look to promote you away from the street level units where your stupidity could get someone killed since they couldn't get rid of you for being as useless as a chocolate teapot because racism/sexism. It's why the Met is now in special measures as are a number of British forces.
