Collins: Yeah, that's not very typical, l'd like to make that point.

Well, how is it untypical?

Collins: Well there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don't want people thinking that navy ships captained by women aren't safe.

Was this navy ship captained by a woman safe?

Collins: Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.

The ones that are safe?

Collins: Yeah, the ones that didn’t run aground, catch fire, and sink off the coast of Samoa.
