Maybe. But naval officers are in a rare environment where they have 100% authority and are therefore 100% responsible and accountable.
Think about how stuff goes to hell and lower enlisted and NCOs take the brunt of the damage and punishment. Think about how bad that is for morale.
A certain level of respect is accorded when the crew knows that the CO’s head will roll.
And therefore, any crewmember with a bone to pick can easily deep six the CO's career. Sounds like facilitating mutiny to me.
