..there is an almost inexplicable overreliance on electronic aids, including automated radar systems and the automatic identification system (AIS) on the part of these new-school officers. Proven techniques, including the use of maneuvering boards, lookouts, adherence to the “Rules of the Road,” and, most important, watch-standers actually looking out the bridge window, are mysteriously archaic to officers who have become convinced that technology cannot fail them.

Then every admiral from Richardson on down needs to be fired because they all learned basic seamanship without all this stuff and know that these may be great aids, but are not a substitute for seamanship. Adm Richardson qualified subs in about 1985 back when surface navigation on a sub was still very much Mk 1 eyeball, with some long range lookout done by an enlisted eyeball in the control room on an optical periscope - a great instrument to be sure, but you dodged surface traffic including small boats by seat of the pants driving.

It’s hard to imagine. Not only was sailing that blind normal in crowded sea lanes, but after issues involving loss of life that possibly could be safeguarded with extra eyes on deck they probably didn’t do that.
