The problem with being 70+ years old, a 1970’s destroyer man, and a Naval History buff, is one remembers things like the GREENVILLE grounding in Guam [ignorance of buoy system at Guam], SAN FRANCISCO plowing into a seamount, and now this! ! Same command & control problems in all three; same command & control problems in surface fleet. Apparently that is the NEW NAVY’s culture! Both submariners and skimmers [McCAIN & FITZGERALD].
