Have you read the story? Based on that men shouldn't be on ships.
"Fort determined that Fitzs crew was plagued by low morale; overseen by a dysfunctional chiefs mess; and dogged by a bruising tempo of operations in the Japan-based 7th Fleet that left exhausted sailors with little time to train or complete critical certifications..."
"...they also appeared to be led by officers who appeared indifferent to potentially life-saving lessons that shouldve been learned from other near-misses at sea, including a similar incident near Sasebo, Japan, that occurred only five weeks before the ACX Crystal collision..."
"FTZs command leadership was unaware of just how far below standards their command had drifted, wrote Fort, a surface warfare officer with more than a quarter-century of experience. Had the (commanding officer) and (executive officer) critiqued the near-collision, they may have identified the root causes uncovered by this investigation."
"But Forts investigation pointed to a disturbing pattern of watchstanders failing to follow standing orders from a skipper and XO who often were inexplicably absent from the bridge, even when the warship was transiting potentially dangerous waters at night."
"Benson and predecessor Shu spent little time on the bridge during nighttime transits and Benson was asleep in his quarters on the fateful night the Fitzgerald collided with the ACX Crystal, Fort wrote.
Yes, it has long been said by old salts—the guys that were there from the beginning that women aboard ships bring bad luck.
A cold, hard examination of what goes on when women are crew members is ample, thruthful, and politically incorrect. So no one discusses it.
Women in the military are a mix like oil and water. I don’t care what the apologists say—women don’t belong there.
