I think it is a good idea. There has been speculation of a hack of some of the Navy’s systems. Perhaps radar and/or collision avoidance systems??? Pure speculation at this point but it would be good just to verify.
I think back to the QM2 cruise I took about eight years ago. There was a real interesting talk by some second in command, who explained how their whole lives were about the sea, their family tradition and life was this pursuit. They talked about backups and deep-seated knowledge they were brought up with, and a strong respect for the necessity of human involvement. Interestingly, another group that was crucial when there were people to man tenders to bring us ashore safely at ports were the Phillipino crew. Their lifelong attachment to the sea made them the "go-to" crew members when they had to fix a situation.
What's my point? Is the Navy recruiting and training people with this lifelong connection to and respect for the sea? Or are they so involved in PC nonsense that nobody respects the constant danger they face anymore?
