My Take

Amy Bauernschmidt is the kind of trailblazer I think deserves far more recognition. Becoming the first woman to command a United States Navy aircraft carrier, taking the helm of the USS Abraham Lincoln in August 2021, is a milestone that took decades of barriers to break. What impresses me is the full arc: she served as executive officer first, then earned the top job, so this was no token appointment but a career proven step by step. Coming out of Milwaukee and trained at the Naval War College, she struck me as someone who let competence do the talking. A quiet, history-making leader.
