Shouldn't this be something the Navy keeps out of the public eye?

Not really.

Want I'm REALLY afraid of is that a "stand down" means thousands and thousands of EXTRA man-hours (or tens of thousands of extra man-days!!!!) of extra training and inspection - instead of a couple of hours of REST and THINKING of an overextended force with too few subs to do too many jobs that is actually what is needed.

You can micro-manage your people to death.

Literally.

How do you propose to do that?...When your entire submarine fleet stands down it becomes patently obvious. The stand down will not include three Missleboats on station.

The stand down will alleviate safety slack appearing in the fleet. Naval aviation has had such stand downs before when aviation accident rates increase due to maintenance or safety failures.

On the contrary--this is entirely for public consumption.

I'm sure the Navy was required to first inform Iran, N. Korea, you know, all of our allies.)
