Weren’t there any lookouts on deck?

"Weren’t there any lookouts on deck?"

That's the third question. Do warships no longer have human lookout watches, especially in high traffic areas? Either these two are being made scapegoats or more heads will role as these preliminary findings progress.

The 7th Fleet Admiral has already been fired for two such incidents due to poor training standards. How ships manage to pass sea trials anymore is beyond me. Definitely not my Navy anymore (75-86).
