“He did not follow the rules but saved his crew.”
Really!! How so??
The Navy was already working on the problem. They were doing it quietly so as not to alert our enemies that one of the most powerful ships in the world was possibly not operational and unable to carry out its mission.
It is a joke and melodramatic to say the captain saved his crew.
He did not follow the rules but saved his crew.
His job is the mission. He either does what he has to do to get on with the mission or he, on his own authority takes the ship out of service by certifying that it is not up to the mission. Those were his choices.
