I wasn’t sure what that meant. So I googled it.

Queeg displays an oppressive command style and is prone to unprovoked angry outbursts. From the first, he begins to make mistakes that endanger his ship. After refusing the assistance of his predecessor in command, he grounds the Caine on a muddy shoal his first time underway. He panics in a fog and nearly collides with a battleship, and passes the blame to his helmsman, starting a series of incidents that eventually results in a scripted court-martial and mental breakdown of the helmsman.

Maybe I missed something: I am not in command. I have no angry outbursts. I do not believe I am making any mistakes endangering any ship or crew. And I welcome all assistance.

So... in that vein, could you enlighten me?

And, am I mistaken, or are you new on this dead thread and we’ve not spoken before?

I’ve merely been observing with amusement via the Comments tab. Shall I depart since I’m a noob to the thread, lol?
