Well, Duh!!! '-)

My guess is that that first hour was (without a Captain) "nothing but "***holes and elbows" -- trying to save a ship with a big hole in the hull.

Not sure comms was a priority. I, for one, have been studying this since the news came out -- and I never thought of the comms in the birds...

Good thinking!

In the military there is a term for that possibility. It is called “the chain of command”. The ship was never without a “captain”.

In an emergency EVERYONE knows their jobs. These types of events are anticipated and trained for. Nobody says “where do they keep the pumps” or “what do I do?”

All the smears against our brave sailors on this forum are disgusting and unwarranted.

Communication is around number three, for example in the air, priorities are aviate, navigate, communicate. I suspect that sailors have a similar set of priorities.
