Lisa Franchetti as the Navy\u2019s 33rd chief of naval operations, ending a months-long delay caused by Sen. Tommy Tuberville\u2019s ongoing blockade of military nominations that he began in protest of Defense Department abortion access policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Franchetti became not only the first woman to serve as the Navy\u2019s top officer, but the first to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Franchetti was confirmed around<b> <\/b>12:50 p.m. local time, it remains to be seen when hundreds of lower-ranking military nominations will get a vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those still waiting to be confirmed include Adm. Samuel Paparo to lead U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and Vice Adm. James Kilby to receive a fourth star and become vice chief of naval operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vice Adm. Stephen Koehler has also been nominated to become a four-star admiral and become the next head of U.S. Pacific Fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/naval\/2023\/07\/21\/how-franchettis-experience-made-her-bidens-pick-to-lead-the-navy\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7559328.jpg_c5ae1b.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">How Franchetti\u2019s experience made her Biden\u2019s pick to lead the Navy<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">President Joe Biden has nominated Adm.

David W. Allvin was confirmed as the next Air Force chief of staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later in the day, Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Christopher Mahoney was confirmed as assistant commandant of the Marine Corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mahoney\u2019s stalled confirmation became doubly urgent this week after Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Eric Smith was hospitalized Sunday for a condition the service has yet to disclose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday\u2019s confirmation vote came one day after Senate Democrats threatened rule changes to overcome an eight-month blockade by the Alabama Republican Tuberville of nearly all senior military nominations and promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday night, Republican Sens. Joni Ernst of Iowa and Dan Sullivan of Alaska \u2014 both of whom served in the military \u2014 spent more than four hours attempting to bring up for a vote 61 of the 378 pending nominations stalled by Tuberville, calling it an issue of national security and common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/naval\/2023\/09\/01\/these-us-navy-commands-cant-bring-in-new-leaders-so-whos-in-charge\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-519997760.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">These US Navy commands can\u2019t bring in new leaders. So who\u2019s in charge?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Here&#039;s a graphical representation of the state of 10 U.S. Navy commands.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are punishing [these officers] for what all of us here believe is a very bad policy at the Department of Defense,\u201d Ernst said. \u201cBut it\u2019s a policy they have absolutely nothing to do with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuberville objected to the quick consideration of every one. Earlier in the day, he said Republicans who voted with Democrats to get around his hold would be committing \u201cpolitical suicide\u201d by opposing his anti-abortion protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sullivan called that stance frustrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m hopeful we can find a way forward,\u201d Sullivan said. \u201cWe are facing a really dangerous period, and we\u2019re impacting readiness and morale. To my colleague who says there is no readiness problem with [these holds], that\u2019s just ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuberville has been a target of criticism since February when he announced a total hold on routine approvals for senior military promotions and confirmations to protest the Defense Department\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2022\/10\/20\/military-to-provide-leave-travel-expenses-for-troops-seeking-abortion\/\">abortion access policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military members can receive time off and travel stipends to go across state lines for abortion procedures if they are stationed in areas where access is limited or outlawed. Administration officials have said the move is needed to provide full health care for troops and their families. Conservative lawmakers have called the policy illegal and immoral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuberville\u2019s hold does not completely block the Senate\u2019s ability to approve promotions and nominations, but does shift the business from a few minutes of routine votes to hours and days of floor debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuberville has said he won\u2019t lift the hold until the policy is changed or Congress votes to approve the existing rules. Democrats have accused him of grandstanding and hurting national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Military Times reporter Leo Shane contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Correction: an earlier version of this story misstated the position for which Vice Adm.
