I can't pretend to understand Navy culture, but I am absolutely Shocked that the senior Officers were allowed to gracefully retire while facing no true consequences of their responsibility in the deaths of Sailors. Shocked, I tell you.

I was told through another source that the Navy changed the way it initially trained officers, "streamlining" training that actually meant that Officers were going to the Fleet with little or no ship board experience and expected to learn it OJT while they are underway. So then the question becomes is the Navy putting untrained and inexperienced Officers in the Fleet.
It's a bit hard for someone in the Army, where the school progressions is very formal, to understand the rather odd mixture of formal and OJT qualifications in the Navy.
