New Zealand’s Defense Minister Judith Collins has decried what she called misogynistic online comments about the woman commander of a navy ship which ran aground, caught fire and sank off the coast of Samoa on Sunday. Collins told reporters in Auckland on Thursday that women in New Zealand’s military had been abused in the street since the sinking.

“The one thing that we already know did not cause it is the gender of the ship’s captain, a woman with 30 years’ naval experience who on the night made the call to get her people to safety,” Collins said.No evidence of major fuel spill on Samoan reef where New Zealand navy ship sank“I think that he should keep his comments to people who drive trucks rather than people who drive ships,” Collins said.
Most of the ship’s fuel appeared to have burned out in the fire, according to a statement by the Marine Pollution Advisory Committee. Officials were due to meet with locals Thursday to discuss how to remove the vessel’s anchor and three shipping containers from the reef without further damaging the fragile marine ecosystem.
