The New York Sun Opinion: Meet Lisa Franchetti, Outgoing Chief of Naval Operations and the Least Arrogant Admiral Our Correspondent Has Ever Met

In "Meet Lisa Franchetti, Outgoing Chief of Naval Operations and the Least Arrogant Admiral Our Correspondent Has Ever Met" (The New York Sun, February 24, 2025), Pollock Cohen partner Steve Cohen shares thoughts on Admiral Lisa Franchetti. Franchetti, former Chief of Naval Operations and the first woman to hold the top job, was relieved of her command by President Trump.

Steve notes, “I’ve known a lot of admirals since my days at Annapolis, and she is like every one of them: smart, candid, articulate, and confident — but with two differences. She is self-aware and the least arrogant admiral I’ve ever met.”
