It also explains why so many Navy Captains have their careers cut short.

I follow the Navy Times since my son is a Marine, and there was an article last year about the number of commanders being fired rising. It was something like 1% - 2%, which isn't much, but they seemed to be getting a lot more strict on folks screwing around or negligence. I was surprised at how many officers with 20+ years threw their careers away over stupid crap that they should have known better about.

I was thinking more of the Sub commanders grounding their ship while underwater or taking out Japanese fishing boats while surfacing. The Earth is still a big place, mostly covered by ocean.

The number of captains being removed is at levels that has some here wondering if there is a purge going on. It seems to be monthly if not more frequently, now. The stuff many are being removed for is stuff that has always gone on.
