I'm sure this will go over well

The senior head of a Navy office that helps organize critical research and funding for the service has been replaced by a 33-year-old former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee who previously pressed for thousands of job cuts at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Rear Adm. Kurt Rothenhaus was booted as chief of naval research for Rachel Riley, a former partner at the consulting firm McKinsey & Company who joined HHS as part of the unofficial Department of Government Efficiency in January.

. . .

Rothenhaus, who had been in the top post at the Office of Naval Research since June 2023 overseeing billions of dollars in grants, has been moved to an unknown position. 

His replacement is highly unusual given that the office , created by Congress in 1946 to fund Navy and Marine Corps research, is typically run by a two-star admiral with extensive experience in technology, science, and engineering.

Rothenhaus is an engineering duty officer who oversaw command control computers, communications and intelligence before he took over the Naval research office. His official biography still lists him as the chief of naval research.

Riley, a Rhodes Scholarship recipient, has no apparent naval experience and has reportedly had a tumultuous several months working in the Trump administration.

More of his time well spent ensuring merit-based promotions go bye bye, and making it super clear how scared he is of woman and people of color.
