"I have a mostly male crew. They're not old, but they're not young either," says commander of the USS Decatur, Shanti Sethi, in her blog, Adventures in Paradise. When her ship docked in Chennai on Wednesday, Shanti Sethi, an American of Indian descent, became the first female commander of a US naval vessel to visit the country.
Serving in the US Navy since 1994, Sethi took over the command of USS Decatur in 2010 and leads a predominantly male crew. But her blog suggests that she enjoys an easy camaraderie with them. It even has pictures of her moments after being "doused by a bucketfull of water during yesterday's fresh water wash of the ship" and experimenting with recipes in the ship's kitchen. A native of Reno, Nevada, Sethi describes herself as a "half Indian" with an American mother. She's a graduate from Norwich University with a degree in international affairs
