Who is the cno?

The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) is the highest-ranking officer in the United States Navy and serves as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The CNO is responsible for the command, control, and operation of the Navy and acts as a principal advisor to the Secretary of the Navy. As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the current CNO is Admiral Lisa Franchetti, who made history as the first woman to hold this position.
