Biden names Lisa Franchetti to lead the US Navy.
According to a written statement from the White House, Biden said: “Our next Navy commander, Admiral Lisa Franchetti, will bring 38 years of dedicated experience to the service of our nation, including the current Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff.” she used the phrase.
Biden claimed that Admiral Franchetti is “the second woman in the US Navy to achieve the rank of four-star admiral” and, when approved, “would make history as the first woman to serve as Commander of the Navy and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”
President Joe Biden also announced that he has nominated Vice Admiral James Kilby as the next Deputy Commander of the Navy, Admiral Samuel Paparo for the Indo-Pacific Command, and Vice Admiral Stephen “Web” Koehler for the US Pacific Fleet Command.
BIDEN’S WARNING TO THE TUBERVILLE REPUBLIC
Stressing the importance of the candidates’ homework, Biden also warned Republican Tommy Tuberville, who blocked the nominations and dragged out the process.
“What Senator Tuberville has done is not just wrong, it’s dangerous. It jeopardizes the ability of the US Military to remain the largest fighting force in world history. His Republican colleagues in the Senate know this too.” he made the statement.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said in a statement that “Admiral Franchetti will continue to inspire all as the first female Navy commander and member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”
Franchetti is scheduled to serve as the acting commander of the Navy starting next month. (AA)
