Who is Danielle Cribb? Marine captain's profile mysteriously disappears from Navy's Blue Angels website after mentor Scott Laux's dismissal

The mystery regarding the US Navy's elite Blue Angels flight demonstration team team has become even deeper as the biography of yet another officer has reportedly been quietly removed from the team’s official website. Marine Captain Danielle Cribb, who was known as the squadron's public affairs officer, is now the center of attention due to the sudden removal of her biography. This happened not long after Marine Major Scott Laux, who reportedly mentored Cribb, was removed from the high-profile team because he did not meet the team’s standards. While the Navy has confirmed Laux's removal, it has offered no explanation regarding Cribb, raising questions about her current status and whether the developments are connected.

WHO IS DANIELLE CRIBB? EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT THE MARINE CAPTAIN

Danielle Cribb is a US Marine Corps captain who joined the Navy's Blue Angels as a public affairs officer in September 2025. She grew up in Beaufort, South Carolina, and enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2012.


According to the New York Post, Cribb served in Japan and Qatar, where she contributed to aviation operations and combat mission planning. She was commissioned as an officer in 2021.

Throughout her military career, Cribb has reportedly received several honors, including three Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals, three Good Conduct Medals and multiple unit awards.

Her name recently attracted attention after aviation enthusiasts noticed that her biography had disappeared from the Blue Angels' official website. Interestingly, Cribb had a professional relationship with Laux, a 37-year-old Major in the Marines who was recently fired from the squadron.

According to The New York Post, the two were spotted together at a Pensacola Blue Wahoos minor league baseball match in April. During the event, Laux presented Cribb with an award recognizing her promotion. A social media post described him as her mentor.

WHY WAS CRIBB'S PROFILE REMOVED AFTER LAUX'S DISMISSAL?

The disappearance of Cribb's biography came amid controversy surrounding Laux's unexpected removal from the Blue Angels. According to the New York Post, the Chief of Naval Air Training confirmed on Friday that Laux, who served as Blue Angel No. 6, had been removed for failing to uphold the standards expected of squadron members.

"Blue Angel #6 was removed from the team for failing to uphold the standards expected of members of the Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron and will not participate in the team’s remaining performance this season," the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) public affairs office said as quoted by the Post.

However, no details were provided about the reason for his termination or even about when it happened. Laux, who became part of the Blue Angels in September 2024, had been working as the team’s narrator in 2025 before becoming an opposing solo pilot.



Following his removal, he was not present at the NAS Pensacola Homecoming Air Show, in which the squadron flew with five planes as opposed to the usual six. Meanwhile, Cribb's missing biography has added another unanswered question to the situation.

The Navy has not publicly explained why Cribb's biography disappeared from the Blue Angels website or confirmed whether her status with the team

has changed. There is also no official confirmation linking the disappearance of her profile to Laux's dismissal.
