President Joe Biden has nominated Adm. Lisa Franchetti to lead the Navy, making her the first woman to be a Pentagon service chief and the first female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Adm. Franchetti has extensive command and executive experience, and her selection is being met with criticism from Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) who is holding more than 250 military promotions in protest of the Defense Department's abortion policy. If confirmed, Adm.
