Patent Bullshit. Somebody or somebodies who were supposed to be “watching”, didn’t “watch”. The Navy just wants these incidents to go away and they are hushing up all the details. Running for the woods as fast as they can.
“Many causes” my ass.
It’s a big ocean out there.
I can tell you this had those been industrial accidents and the owners were found to be negligent by OSHA a response of, “Well you know the fixes are going to be far from easy” wouldn’t get a whole lot of sympathy from the government.
