As one who has spent a lot of time on the bridge and underway on a US Warship, and as one that loves the Navy, this is all depressing as hell.
These officers spending a lot of time away from the bridge with cute lady officers around is no mystery at all. The answer to what they were up to lies under ground in books with stone pages made one million fn years ago! Simple as that.
Some officers should be held accountable with prison terms (sailors died!!!!). I want to emphasize “officers”. They were in charge! Urine on the floor of CIC...…...imagine that! My god! We would have been in the brig in minutes for something like that happening in my days in CIC!
Trump really does need to fire the officers in the chain of command on this situation (all the way up to the halls of the Pentagon) and then see to it that they go to Leavenworth a long time. Otherwise, this shit will continue on and we will lose the next war.....!
I also spent a lot of time on the Bridge, including many transits through Sagami Wan, You are right, all depressing as hell.
