“The OOD and CO are screwed.”
Courts Martial is the only just outcome.
They are screwed because they were the responsible officers on watch. Errors in judgment, misinterpretation of the Crystals track, etc. will come out in the investigation
But...., but..., but..., Mr. President [of the board of inquiry], I was the stand on vessel. I stood on. I was following the rules and the bitch rammed me....
Thanks for the correction... any idea what’s going to happen from here on out?
Looks like Crystal, from post 165, was trying to come right to avoid hitting the idiots on the DDG. Crystal couldn’t have been steaming a straighter course. Looks like it took 50 minutes for Crystal to do her own damage report and figure out what is what, then arrived back at the DDG.
How embarrassing for the DDG - the merch came back to the USN ship. “You guys ok? Drive boats much?”
