New Zealand's Defense Minister has denounced a wave of "misogynistic" online abuse directed at a high-ranking commander whose ship sank in a storm, with accusations labeling her a "diversity hire," according to a report.
Yvonne Gray captained the Royal New Zealand Navy's dive and hydrographic ship named HMNZS Manawanui as it sank during a survey mission after losing power in the sea, according to The Times. The Manawanui's sinking marked the first loss of a naval ship for New Zealand since World War II.
