“I read a lot of the details and it sounds like the bridge was manned by totally untrained and irresponsible civilians, rather then the ship’s sailors.”

Where are you getting that information? I’m pretty sure a front line, operational Navy combatant is not being crewed by civilians.

It's not, but my point was that it might as well have been given the total lack of seamanship displayed by the sailors.
