I can tell you about grounding if you want.

Whether a Captain is relieved or not entirely depends on the findings of a Court of Inquiry which is held after the fact.

Even if he is innocent, he may still be relieved if the crew has lost confidence in him.

The CO is responsible for everything that happens on that ship, whether he knew it or not. Period. No wiggle room at all.

"Even if he is innocent, he may still be relieved if the crew has lost confidence in him."

I never said he couldn't be fired, or wouldn't be. I said we just heard new information about this, and suddenly everyone's saying "oh, he'll be fired for sure". I'm saying, we don't know what's going to happen. Is that so wrong?

In answer to your comment: yeah, if the crew has lost confidence, that makes sense. We don't know what the court will say, nor how the crew feels. It seems like you're saying that its not a foregone conclusion that he'll be fired. Correct me if I mistook you.

Submarines have been known to find uncharted submarine mountains.

Pogy did in the 1970's and had a permanently bent hull frame because of it. It was before my time but it was "Pogy-lore" that every non-qual had to learn.

I am sub qualified and a sub veteran. I was a crew member on a boat involver in a grounding incident. The CO during the incident was NOT relieved. However, that is all I can say in an open forum. Actually, that is all I can say in any forum.
