Commander Gray faces a charge of negligently permitting a ship to be lost by allegedly being absent from the bridge while within one nautical mile of a reef, with an alternative charge of failing to perform a duty for the same alleged conduct.

She faces a separate charge alleging she failed to ensure an appropriate plan was in place while the ship was in uncharted waters.

Lieutenant Commander Gajzago, who was command supervisor on the bridge, also faces a charge of negligently causing a ship to be lost by allegedly failing to supervise the third officer and prevent the ship from running aground.

The third officer, who was officer of the watch at the time of the crash, is facing the same charge for allegedly turning the vessel towards a reef half a nautical mile ahead while travelling at more than four knots, and failing to disengage autopilot and take manual control quickly enough to avoid the reef.[…]

Commander Gray, who moved to New Zealand with her “wife” in 2012, was lauded in a June 2023 New Zealand Department of Defence press release celebrating her and three other female commanders, in which one gushed about a culture change in the navy due to a “focus on diversity, equity and respect for personnel”.

Another of the female captains praised alongside Ms Gray, Fiona Jameson, crashed her own ship in May 2024.

    2. Yep. She’s the one that was in charge of the ship that hit a reef and sank.

  3. The world is changing fast, and these women may still hang yet. They did what they did, they know they did what they did on purpose. But they never thought they would hang.

    1. Bluenoser you’re absolutely right. In the RCN they would find a lower decker to place the blame on.

      1. “For boldly placing your vessel as a navigation marker for future vessels…”

  5. It’s a shame that all those pretty curtains on the bridge were a wasted effort.

  8. They will all escape responsibility.
    Delusions of Adequacy Defence.
    The High Command placed them in those positions,who were they to challenge the wisdom of Dear Military Leaders?
    “I thought I was adequate for the performance of these responsibilities,because I was appointed to command..”
    Otherwise known as “You knew I was stupid when you appointed me,why are you prosecuting me for stupid acts?”
    And the politicians responsible for these appointments are long gone,collecting their gold plated pensions and insisting”We never forced the Navy to make these insane appointments”.
    The charges should be wreckful endangerement ,as these political appointees endangered the crews.

    1. “You knew I was stupid when you appointed me, why are you prosecuting me for stupid acts?”

      This is the absolute truth. And so the people who hired this incompetent Captain should lose their jobs as well.

  9. The prosecution and the defence will likely make a joint submission that nothing more than a good chewing out is in order.

  11. “Another of the female captains praised alongside Ms Gray, Fiona Jameson, crashed her own ship in May 2024.”
    ROLMFAO.
    What’s troubling is that you never hear stories about these women being locked in their cabins the moment they leave port because they’re effing useless. But looking at this incident on paper, all of the ranking officers were completely out of their depth.

  12. Department of Defence press release celebrating her and three other female commanders, in which one gushed about a culture change in the navy due to a “focus on diversity, equity and respect for personnel”.

    Same priorities as ours then. You can bet they all hated each other.

    2. The Captain had a cabin-girl
      With whom she shared her pillow
      While ‘tween the sheets
      She struck a reef
      And lost their favourite dildo

  14. We’re headed for a doozy and I mean a big one…commercial jetliner is my guess that’ll make the DEI marxists scramble for the “Excuses” magic 8 ball.

    Watch the video and witness the female talking head immediately praising the captain for the evacuation…”…with no loss of life”. So that right there is something to be proud of.
    Of course the Navy guy is nodding his head in approval like the good little poodle he is.

  15. Now, now, now … hetero men crash ships too. And men who spend time in their cabin with their husbands. And those who wear dresses on duty. And even men who identify as cats.

    2. You are on a roll today, JM! The ol’ Left Brain is firing on all 8 cylinders.

      Keep ‘em coming.

      1. The ship was nowhere near the Great Barrier Reef, is was off Samoa, about 3,000 miles away.

          1. Your link is to Resilient Reefs Pastika, which supported by the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, while the RRP was established to protect all Pacific Ocean reefs.

            That association in no way means that the Samoan reefs are part of the GBR, which you can see via any search engine that it is clearly defined feature lying alongside Australia.

            What part of 3,000 miles away don’t you understand.

          2. What part of Great (expansive) Reefs don’t you understand? The point is that South Pacific reefs are too large to miss. And who sets the autopilot on a course that takes them directly into a reef ?

            As usual, you are so very helpful with your corrections.

          3. The point is you read the words “reef” and “Australian ship”, make a false connection, and then try to say something clever but fail miserably.

            I understand that great expansive reefs exist but not one extends from Australia to Samoa.

            The question remains: what part of 3,000 miles away don’t you understand.

          4. What part of hyperbole don’t you understand?

            You sound as though you are a “fact checker” working for SNOPES … who always miss the INTENT of what’s being said. But get the narrow minutia dead on.

          5. “They don’t call it The GREAT Barrier reef for nothing, eh gals?” is not hyperbole.

            You should look up what the word means before you spout off.

            As for intent, as I said you were trying to be clever but failed miserably.

          6. The active word of hyperbole is GREAT … that was the point. Please make a note of it. Fool.

          7. Great Barrier Reef – great humour. What do those guys have wedged in their asses? Criticizing humour as not being real? WTF is that about?

      2. Guys, if we wanted to watch ridiculous cartoon figures dispute over reefs, we’d watch Spongebob Squarepants. You guys make me miss the old rassling muskrats. They at least managed an intriguing savagery in their drooling. You guys are like a Monty Python Fish-slapping Dance, extended beyond reason.

        1. Well chupapollas, there’s nothing stopping you from watching Spongebob Squarepants. It’s best to leave the commenting to the adults in the neighborhood.

          1. BTW, calling someone a stupid-person-mucous-membrane-projection is hardly being nice no matter the circumstances.

          2. And you’ve just called me “chupapollas”, which sounds vaguely Mexican. So, mucous membranes seem implicit. So, there’s a lot of this kind of thing, isn’t there? It kind of comes with the territory, doesn’t it? I’m a bit baffled as to why you’re popping your cork over it.

          3. ebt, you called me a goof…… and I don’t take kindly to being called a stupid person. Not cool.

            BTW, I regret that chupapollas.

          4. Er, you’d just been called a “malignant goofball”, and I’d spoken in your defence. I called you a goofpolyp, which indicates only a potential for goofiness, which, like the mark of Cain, all of us carry.

            I don’t mind being called “chupapollas”, though I don’t know what it means. Sucking chicken?

  17. Tesla of the Seas.
    New Zealand Navy lesbians overestimate capabilities of new, self-driving vessel.

  19. Okay, so they can’t command ships. Is there a less-critical DEI role they could do without spawning disaster? I dunno, maybe LA Pacific Palisades & Region Fire Chiefs?

    Asking for 200,000 LA residents.

  20. l swear.
    drop me into that bridge at that moment not a lick of naval training my 1st impulse would be to assume the craft had an auto pilot and get it shut off.

    but they got and gave nothing.

  21. “She faces a separate charge alleging she failed to ensure an appropriate plan was in place while the ship was in uncharted waters.”

    How on earth did she end up in “uncharted waters”? There shouldn’t be any, anywhere close to where the ship was operating, or is that the general “We didn’t buy the maps for around there”?

  23. “…young”? Probably doesn’t like being referred to as a “lady” either. 😉

  25. The nz navy had brought a past captain back and appointed him xo to attempt to keep her from getting in to much trouble.
