JFK said only schmucks ran their ships aground. /s
I have a feeling we’ll see one or more people being relieved of duty in the near future.
Pimg for mt.
Maybe the ship recently HAD it, but doesn't anymore?
Must really suck to have your career plans flash before your eyes when you felt that “thump”.
Isn’t the Captain automatically relieved of command over something like this?
Clear evidence of a purge of the military. The Captain of the Taylor is yet another victim of the Obama Administration. /Sarc. Actually the Navy takes a very dim view of Skippers who park their ships on solid ground, it’s a career ending incident.
How did he feel about getting ran over by Destroyers?
LOL
Even if you are a diversity promote? I would think that if the captain was a female or a minority, especially a female minority, relieving of duty would not be automatic. . .just given the political environment today. . .
The Capt.. didnt run aground THE CREW DID... (most likely)..
That'll depend on the results of the investigation into their political leanings.
My bro was on watch and using binoculars, he spotted a submarine periscope waaaaay off in the horizon on their course. Said it scared the sh** out of him.
17th Cmdr will probably be looking for a new position maybe
even outside the navy in the near future.
17.) 13 Nov. 2012 - Cmdr. Dennis J. Volpe (Long Island, N.Y.)

Putin didn’t even let them moor at Sochi.
To be decommissioned in 2015.
Ahhhh...but the question is: Did the crew do it on purpose?

I think their chances of staying with a murder charge is more likely then running the ship aground even today.
