He screwed up yes, but it appears he was a regular guy when it came to the crew and well liked so he probably interacted with those that were already positive.

He very well was a regular guy but he needed to take the measures he was trained with in dealing with a bio problem plus only communicated in the chain of command. If he did all that he would have protected his crew better and not have been relieved of his command.

He cared about his men and they about him which is why the Navy Brass hate him.

ANY COMMANDER who is a “regular guy” with his crew is UNFIT for command.

Command ranks can and should be respected by subordinate ranks, but be advised; someday under certain circumstances your commander could and should order you into a situation that will require you giving your life for the mission.
You are expected to salute and execute that command, not argue with your FRIEND.

There is a reason all of us maggots have to salute first and hold it until returned.

You want to be some subordinates buddy go join the YMCA or the PTA.
