Grisel Marrero, a senior US Navy enlisted leader, installed an unauthorized Starlink network on the USS Manchester during a deployment in 2023. She lied to her commanders and falsified records to cover up its presence. Marrero was demoted from senior chief petty officer to chief petty officer after being found guilty of dereliction of duty and providing false official statements.
