I wonder if PACFLT was not happy with this Admiral even before these incidents. This could be an excuse to FINALLY get rid of him. Of course, I think it is a more cover your butt result.
Last two accidents were almost repeats. Multiple sailors killed.
I ran big construction both from the main office and in the field.
When people were seriously injured on a jobsite, I didn’t replace just the foreman in charge of the crew. The leadership was removed or fired.
This is no different.
