President Biden has nominated Adm. Linda Fagan to serve as the next commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, the administration announced Tuesday.
If confirmed, Fagan would be the first woman ever to lead a branch of the U.S. military, lawmakers said.
"Admiral Fagan's nomination will inspire generations of American women to strive to serve at the highest level in the Armed Forces," said Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., chair of the Senate Commerce Committee.
The Senate Commerce Committee has jurisdiction over the Coast Guard and is tasked with approving all promotions of the service's officers.

Keen Intellect, not used to seeing the word Keen describing a military officer, much less an Admiral. Words like Superior or Outstanding are more in order. She sounds like a keen (Outstanding) choice, however.
