LOL, sorry! Near and dear to my heart, so I assume it is to others too...

I did avoid all caps!

The important point is: "it is evident the collision was preventable."

The investigators have determined the ship's crew, and not some outside force, is responsible. This from the United States Naval Institute.

That they are releasing this information ahead of time is telling, in my opinion.

Sailors died! That's beyond "loss of confidence" or training. Aren't commanding officers responsible for training the junior officers? Isn't the command master chief supposed to watch over enlisted training? Of course they are responsible!

Like many here, I suspect unqualified minority & equally unqualified women.
