New Zealand minister criticises sexist trolling of captain of sunk navy ship

ai generated text

The HMNZS Manawanui, a Royal New Zealand Navy ship, ran aground off the coast of the Samoan island of Upolu, resulting in the evacuation of all 75 people on board. The crew, led by Captain Yvonne Gray, successfully rescued everyone by transferring them to lifeboats. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the incident and assess any potential environmental damage from the ship's wreck. There is no record of any fatalities or injuries. The incident is reported as New Zealand's first naval ship loss since World War II. Captain Gray's quick response in ordering the crew to abandon ship is credited with saving the lives of everyone on board.

    1. A court of inquiry has been stood up to establish what caused this terrible incident.
    2. This is outrageous behaviour and New Zealand is not known for this and we are better than it.
    3. I thought seriously in 2024 what the hell is going on here with people who are sitting there in their armchair operating a keyboard making comments about people that they do not know, about an area they do not know and they are just vile. Where's a bit of decency.
    4. I'm appalled to hear that our women in uniform are being abused in the street because of this incident.
    5. We're obviously deeply traumatised. Frankly, our navy has gone through a very tough time.
    6. We are all appointed on merit, not gender.
    7. The one thing that we already know did not cause it is the gender of the ship's captain.

    1. Right where the ship went down just inland, there's a huge lagoon of brackish water and it houses all sort of animals. Coconut crabs, everything. They'll all be affected.
