  1. Just a note on the CO (and as with you this applies regardless of the person's, gender, orientation, skin colour, or whatever). Usually people serve in the UK (RN, Army, or RAF) for 20 years. Quite often other members of the Commonwealth offer "lateral" transfers - in this case from RN to RNZN, based on shortfalls in staffing (in this case RNZN). If, as seems the case, RNZN had a shortfall in qualified Captains (role not rank), they may well have offered her, and indeed others coming up to retirement from the RN, a position.
