“vtoo naive or too stupid to be a commanding officer of a ship”

Bingo! And thankfully he no longer is. The seamen onboard the Roosevelt had better get their heads straight or they are too stupid or naive to serve as well.

Shall we relieve them as well?

One other possibility-— a “perfumed prince” installed in the obamaumao era .... Green Fuel Navy that has obvious leftovers still in place. Only thing worse would be political “Bushie” era political general officers (are there any other types of general officers?). People like “Adm” McRaven with his “hooke m horns” speech to Univ of Texas-— while the gun running a@@ lives in Qatar (”more secure for my family”), who refused Trump’s request for an appointment as Nat Sec.Advisor.

But then— Trump got Bolton. It is hard to find unaligned soothsayers in a swamp filled with all species of critters in the swamposphere.

If a crew likes their CO it usually means he breaks the rules to be liked. When I was in either the XO or CO played the by the book jack wagon. The other got to play nice. Good cop bad cop if you will. Never did they commit a treasonous act of letting our enemy know of a reduction in strength. It was usually used for holiday skeleton crew, 1/2 day off or some such thing.
