I read of this several weeks ago in a Military Times Pub. Then, and in the source Pete noted, there was no mention of gender specific charges. IMHO, Capt Graff's concept of command saw her conduct and decisions take her to places not intended by the US Navy. While not defending Capt Graff, there is, IMMHO, a tendency for the military to select commanders for management skills over leadership skills. That having been said, leaders of the Gen Patton mold can be seen as a threat to management, YMMV.
It will be interesting to see where the investigation leads and what, if any, changes are made in selecting Naval CO's. Given the PC mindset our military is being held to, there will likely be fallout that is made public. I expect The Armed Forces Journal will respond over the next few months.
