Lisa Franchetti: 2023-05-22 Admiral Lisa Franchetti got 4th star 7 months ago, the betting around D.C. she will be the next CNO, based on the identity politics. Her career seems hardly consistent with it.

#1  ...FWIW - I know a fair number of people in and retired from the USN, and to a man and woman they are all solidly behind ADM Franchetti. Her rep is a solid one, she's been out on the pointy end and done well, and those who worked with her speak well. For now, I'll congratulate her and wish her well.

Mike
