Navy files homicide charges against commanders of 2 ships in deadly crashes

thanks!

Agreed, but it was also found that training was pencil whipped (which is common depending on the training), and it was accepted practice (which again isn't uncommon in any branch). But when said pencil whipping is an accepted thing within at Flag Level, the ships Skipper should/needs to take that L and be dealt with (they are), BUT those above them are also culpable when they knew, fostered, and accepted sup par training or pencil whipped training that allowed this to continue. If the onion was peeled back more, and harder, the onion would have a few stars in the center. Those stars should not be allowed to shield themselves from the pain. It only promotes the belief that if you're enlisted and O3 on down, there is one UCMJ, and O4-O10 another.

Probably not recently. No one wants to commit suicide and say they can't(or won't) carry out a mission (sail the ship) because the crew isn't well enough trained in emergency procedures. So they hope and pray that there will never be any close calls on their watch.
