Morale aboard a US warship operating in the Pacific reached such a low ebb that one sailor described serving aboard the ship as being akin to being on "a floating prison," according to surveys obtained via the Freedom of Information Act.
The Navy Times obtained three command climate surveys featuring hundreds of pages of anonymous comments from sailors revealing widespread morale issues aboard the USS Shiloh, a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser based in Yokosuka, Japan.
Two Navy officials told CNN that the information reported from the surveys was accurate. According to the obtained surveys only 31% of the sailors who responded to the survey said yes to the prompt: "I trust that my organization's leadership will treat me fairly," compared to 63% under the previous commanding officer.

That’s the ship where they had the massive search for a man overboard, and then found him hiding in the engine room several days later.
It may take a while to scoop out the kind of things that floated to the top under the Obama/Ashton Carter Admin.
Get the women off these ships!!
Obama’s Navy?
... or a rare Captain Queeg in command?
Continue to automate, because the snowflakes are just going to continue to whine.
Toss every last one of those perpetually aggrieved class SJW, urban militant oxygen thieves out of the service.
Let them play football.
No it came from:
The new commander (after the incident above) took command August 30. The new guy has been there 5 weeks and they already have a survey? Or is this based on the guy that commanded June 2015 - August 2017?
The story as presented isn’t passing the smell test.
They want you as a new recruit.
Read a little more. This is about the guy that got replaced, not the current captain.
Let them swim home to their mommies.
As your Chief I would advise you to 24 and Carry On.
Typically, commanders have to issue the “All Hands” survey within a certain amount of time after assuming command.
and the gays.
War assets are for men.
If your an E-4 you don't even know the Battalion Commander, your only worried about your squad and platoon leader.
These surveys are worthless.
Anonymous surveys are the bitch session of the internet generation.
"I'm just getting started. You're gonna stay right here and get a bellyful of flying. You're gonna make every mission. You're not air exec anymore. You're just an airplane commander. And I want you to paint this name on the nose of your ship: Leper Colony. Because in it you're gonna get every deadbeat in the outfit. Every man with a penchant for head colds. If there's a bombardier who can't hit his plate with his fork, you get him. If there's a navigator who can't find the men's room, you get him. Because you rate him."
That was a good movie too.
One of the best ever made. All about leadership, discipline, relationships between bosses and subordinates, and pushing me to the very edge.
