Maybe the Navy needs to review its command selection process?

I can’t imagine, given today’s technology, how a CO could believe he could lie about this.

Why would he lie about mechanical problems on his ship?

PO2 (Join to see) As a Radioman, I sent many status report informing senior leadership on the equipment status of the ships equipage. As to why? It would be pure speculation on my part.

Us U.S. Naval Disaster (1923)

Item title reads - US (U.S.) Naval disaster. 7 destroyers crash on rocks in dense fog. 29 sailors were killed and over 100 injured. California, USA (U.S.A.)....

Regretful situation (and adding one of my favorite quotes).

Sidebar comment: —-> including a dated photo and newsreel (link) of some even worse peacetime destroyer *positioning* (plural)
