"Biden Breaks Barriers: First Female Admiral Nominated to Lead Navy and Joint Chiefs of Staff"

President Joe Biden has nominated Adm. Lisa Franchetti as the Navy's next top officer, making her the first woman in the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin presented Biden with options, including Adm. Samuel Paparo, who leads the U.S. Pacific Fleet, as his recommendation. Biden ultimately chose Franchetti due to her qualifications and background. The decision is seen as a historic move in line with Biden's commitment to diversity in his administration. The announcement also included other personnel changes within the Navy's leadership structure.

Austin overlooks female admiral, recommends Pacific leader as next Navy chief.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has recommended Adm. Samuel Paparo as the Navy’s next chief of naval operations, passing over Adm. Lisa Franchetti, who was widely regarded as the frontrunner for the job. Paparo currently commands the Navy’s Pacific Fleet, where he has focused on confronting China’s growing naval power. If nominated and confirmed, Paparo would replace Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday, whose four-year term ends this fall. Paparo would have to grapple with shipbuilding plans, failed Littoral Combat Ship program, and uncrewed ships, which the Navy has struggled to design and develop under Gilday’s tenure.

Austin chooses male Pacific leader over female admiral for top Navy job

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has recommended Adm. Samuel Paparo as the Navy's highest-ranking officer instead of Adm. Lisa Franchetti, who was widely believed to be the front-runner and would have been the first female service member to hold the job and the first female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Paparo's nomination has been sent to the White House, but President Joe Biden has not yet signed it. Some inside the Pentagon may not be happy with the decision to pass over Franchetti during the week the U.S. military celebrates the 75th anniversary of women joining the armed forces.
