Lesbian Captain Sinks $100 Million New Zealand Navy Ship

Delicious headline is from the translated original story.
More on this story from yesterday.
[Regnum] The New Zealand Navy intelligence ship Manawanui ran aground and sank near Samoa, the news division of New Zealand television company 1News reported.

"The HMNZS Manawanui, a $100 million specialist diving and survey vessel, sank this morning after running aground on a reef off Upolu Island in Samoa and catching fire last night. Naval Commander Rear Admiral Garin Golding said Captain Yvonne Gray's decision to abandon ship was the 'right thing to do' and could have 'saved lives,'" the publication noted.

New Zealand Defence Minister Judith Collins said an investigation would be launched into the shipwreck, adding that the focus was now on dealing with the environmental impact of the accident.

"It's a 'sad day' for the Navy to lose a ship, but the fact that no one was killed is a 'triumph,'" she said.

The captain of the vessel was Yvonne Gray, for her it was her first experience on duty. The questionnaire on the New Zealand Navy website states that the captain of the vessel is in a "marital relationship" with a woman (the LGBT movement is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).

#20  I tried really hard to be that, dear Walking Unvaxed. I know I did not always succeed.

#19  TW,
During the covid period I perceived you as a peacekeeper. If you had deleted my posts I was unaware or understood the reason for the delete. From time to time my posts were duplicates of others and not included. Sometimes there was not enough time for the mods to approve every article, no worries. Some mods had strong opposing views...

#18  During the Covid period Fred kept nearly dying from a number of things, one after another; the moderators were doing our best to carry on without emoting all over everyone.

#17  GP, post it again.
FWIW the mods are much better now than the covid period.

#16  Out of hand? You are young, sweet summer child. See: Aris. I never saw the article in question, no. I did not delete it.

#15  By the way, I see another long time commenter and moderators clashing on another post today after that commenter expressed his honest opinion on a subject. The censorship is getting out of hand over honest opinions of long time commenters.

#14  Besoeker, you were the one moderating at that time.

#13  The image you posted called ME stupid. And you know it.

#12  The image I posted was of a popular actress showing her characters image of a destructive personality in a popular series. It was an intelligent, non offensive representation of the above story

For a moderator to go rogue deleting commenters perfectly fine comments is abusive and disrespectful, THAT behavior WIll be noted.

#11  Ref #9: Glav, you have no idea whom you are referencing as stupid. Stop the name calling.

#10  We have all been spam copped, including all of the moderators — more than once for some of us... I once was compelled to spam cop my own comment, in fact, when on reflection I decided it had been entirely inappropriate, and y’all deserved better from me.

So take it as a proof of properly belonging in this conversation, my dears, and get over it.

Not "stupid stuff" at all! Obviously your lack of intelligence prevents you from understanding a person's opinions on articles posted here! And according to the rules of engagement is what the comment section has been used for since 9/11.
