The US Navy has dismissed Vice Adm Joseph Aucoin as commander of the Seventh Fleet following a string of collisions involving warships in Asia.

Ten sailors are still missing after the USS John S McCain collided with an oil tanker near Singapore on Monday.

Navy officials say human remains have since been found in sealed compartments on board the ship, which is now in port in Singapore.

And the homos form cliques and influence procedures etc

Because it hit the McCain.

I wonder if training interference from the Obama regime had anything to do with these Naval problems.

You just know if the situation were reversed, Nancy Pelosi and her ilk would be claiming an "immediate end to xyz policy which is jeopardizing the lives of our sailors" whether there was any meaningful connection or not.

Therefore, as Rahm Emmanuel said "never let a crisis go to waste."

This is the cover Trump or anyone else needs to remove every asinine, transgender, homo-appreciation snowflake policy implemented by Obunghole

Are sleeping compartments (right term?) routinely sealed at night or is it more than likely they were sealed after the collision.

Yes, standard procedure is to keep hatches and watertight doors shut at night during sleeping hours.

Any sailor that felt a collision impact would shut all hatches and doors (last man through) while responding to their assigned collision station by training, without alarm or instruction.

If they’d have put the “you’re fired!” memo on a foreign ship, it’d have been delivered sooner.

I wonder if training interference from the Obama regime had anything to do with these Naval problems.

I would say yes.

The USN has to look at themselves for the way these sailors were trained and for being politically correct, ie, affirmative action, women, gays, transgenders etc.

One would think a third grade kid would know to put someone on deck as lookout.

Same lines used by our ICBM’s to get to their target...

No, not possible. Minuteman uses a hardened sealed cable system that is autonomous and independent of the internet, cloud or whatever.

Maybe Aucoin was having to follow orders from the previous administration that were still in play. And, working with less than well-trained personnel, because they had to go through all those gender retraining exercises to the detriment of the real training. Ya know, something has to give when the feminoids get their way.

Aucoin comes from a good family. His cousin is one of my good friends.

Lookouts with binoculars posted to watch all 32 points around the ship. Old fashioned but effective. Were these in use in these last two collisions?

In what sort of sealed compartments on a destroyer would sailors normally be?

The way I'm reading is that these sailors were in spaces where damage control crews had to seal hatches and scuttles in order to prevent excessive flooding in berthing or possibly engineering spaces, from the picture I saw.

Electrical engineer, aviator, sqadron commander. The usual exceptional career. What a shame he got whacked before he got out.

“What are they doing?”
Texting.

[discostu]

The whole point of those doors is to keep things sealed after a collision (or other damage). That way breaches don’t flood the entire ship sinking it.

[Rennes Templar]

Well I hope sailors can read maps! Or look out the porthole! Good Lord, what were they doing? But I hear ya on map reading. Went out like math did with the calculator. And it’s true, at the risk of committing a gender non-PCism, females don’t read maps as much as men. You are an exception.

[Navy Patriot]

I read elsewhere that Aucoin was already scheduled for retirement within weeks.

That's correct, but I don't have enough fleet level political knowledge to figure the reason they canned him with a couple weeks to go other than to just look like they were doing something.
