78 years ago, great admirals like Bull Hawlsey and Ray Spruins sailed in the same waters. This panty waist endangered the lives of his crew and a 3 billion dollar carrier by leaking a letter to his hometown newspaper. Good riddance.
No. He endangered all of that because this panty waist did not have a strong and effective plan of action in place. He need to inform his superiors how he was marshalling the considerable resources he had to contain and control the problem while keeping the ship safe and operational, and needed to tell them what additional assistance he needed.
I need to send my sailors on vacation ashore was not a plan of action.
Good grief.
Did you mean Admirals Halsey and Spruance ?
