(WASHINGTON) — President Joe Biden has chosen Adm. Lisa Franchetti to lead the Navy, a senior administration official said Friday.

Biden’s decision to tap Franchetti, an admiral with broad command and executive experience, goes against the recommendation of his Pentagon chief, but he is selecting an officer whom insiders had considered the top choice for the job.
