Just wondering why you find that interesting...Seriously, I know little about Navy protocol, etc...so just wondering if you could explain :)
He’ll retire as an O-9. I’d trade places with him, wouldn’t you?
I guess the navy Obama built...destroyed is bearing fruit.
Accountable for what? The fleet commander isn’t responsible for training the ship cruise. That’s the type commanders job? So maybe an Advil should be held accountable but maybe it’s not the fleet commander.
This is what happens when you have a Navy more concerned with social issues then military preparedness.
I wondering if there isn’t some sort of signal interference technology being played with by someone. I think I recall one of our ships encountering such several years ago. One of our ships was buzzed by Russia...anyone recall?
An admiral needed to be fired for these two mishaps.

Just ask Husband E. Kimmel how these things work.
Yep, officers are being held accountable.....and somewhere on this beautiful planet, sitting on some million dollar resort watching tv, is a mysterious, unknown man who goes by the name Barack Hussein Obama, and he’s smugly smiling as he turns on CNN and hears about another deadly incident involving US troops, proud in his accomplishment of severely damaging the US of A in only 8 years.
Deep down in that cold, wicked, evil and ABANDONED heart of his, he is happy when he hears about American failures.
Every once in a while, I just get swept up and wonder how 7 years after 9/11, the USA got completely usurped by him and whoever the hell his handlers are.
More diversity training would have solved the problem.
Well, the key things I am looking for are;
1) any indication of hacked equipment - we have heard stories of lesser leaders permitting the purchase of computer components from China. Begging for trouble if these item are making their way into equipment used by the military
2) any officer who was placed by a lesser leader into a position and responsibility beyond their ability to fulfill.
3) outright incompetence. Lack of training has been discussed. It is easy to imagine our military resources are over stressed and lacking in appropriate training for new recruits.
The latter seems to as much a problem as anything. I expect a combination of the three.
Excellent!
Maybe we can clear out all the unfit and PC BS and get back to actually having a military that we can depend upon.
Another post on a related article (can’t put my fingers on it right now), said there were FOUR recent collisions, not just these two (albeit only 2 in the 7th). There should be firings up to and including CINCPAC and the CNO for failure to take appropriate steps. Another post said due to staffing issues, there is only a SINGLE lookout and he’s stationed on the fantail. Are you chitting me? We are down TWO DDGs in a theatre that has gone red hot due to the norks. This puts a big hole in our BMD capability. Heads SHOULD roll. Anyone promoted to flag rank by Øbama should be beached and Mattis should reach out to those officers sacked by zippy and bring ‘em back on board.
How does a Navy destroyer get hit in the port aft by a tanker going 9.2 knots?
Granted it was a typical morning rush hour into Singapore. But somehow the McCain got itself in the way of the Alnic MC, got hit, and 10 sailors are likely dead.
Check out the tracking video of the Alnic and others. It is surprising there were not other accidents dodging the disabled McCain and Alnic.

I wonder was this just a head to roll
OR
was it because sensitivity and gender awareness training was more important than actual military training?
Could this be intentional? Could a group of sailors(deep state/navy) ban together to create an act like this?
Maybe it's time to ditch affirmative action and go back to a merit based system of hiring and promoting?How does a huge slow moving tanker sneak up on a state of the art warship? Whoever is Chief of Naval Operations needs to resign along with the Commander of the 7th Fleet.
