I have no idea what this person's resume looks like (neither do you). Therefore, I have no idea whether she is quailed for her position. To automatically assume that she is not qualified with no knowledge about her background or accomplishments is silly and irresponsible IMO. And unlike you, I must admit that I am not an expert on what it takes to be a qualified commander in the New Zealand navy.
What exactly are people supposed to discuss in this thread? DEI in New Zealand? How nobody died in a ship that capsized so she likely made the right call to evacuate the vessel?
