Check the comments. Here is one:
“”If the USN would publish the relevant track charts, suitably annotated with times, names, speeds, headings, etc - then the wider maritime community could make a more substantive contribution to resolving these tragic incidents.
The USN has nothing to lose from greater transparency - - unless, unless those track charts show errors of shiphandling and seamanship that are SO egregious that it (USN) dare not publish ... ... then we are in a totally different ball game.””

Theyre training as much as ever it’s just that half of the things turned training involve social experiments:
understanding homosexuals or minorities, putting on pregnancy simulators, walking around in high-heeled shoes...all manner of things totally unrelated to making America safe.
as has been noted 100 times, the liberal tendency is to turn the military into a laboratory for sociology ideas and we just got out of doing that to the US military for 8 years.
actually more than that.
The only blessing is that we’re finding this out while we do not yet have a full-scale Navy battle on our hands.
BULL DUNG!
The complaint about readiness appears to be saying the Navy is undermanned. That class of destroyer has a manning roster and it takes X number if people to man it when it goes to sea.
They either had the proper number of people on that ship or they didn’t. If they did, then the overall navy is not the issue when that vessel was at sea.
The families of the dead sailors and the taxpayers deserved competent officer’s of the deck.
the pictures I saw the ships looked like they were rammed . like some group checking out out vulnerability....
Any trannies on the bridge helping out the captain when the crashes happened? Hmm? Just asking...we won’t be told such things. The code of silence is deafening.
hacking?
I think people under a general impression that the cause is navy wasting resources and failing due to social engineering efforts
I’m still waiting for my $2,500 health care reduction. Oh, I’m also trying to get my old doctor back.
Fool me once...
I’m SHOCKED!, SHOCKED I say. I was certain that the Navy would admit that because of hacking, our Trillion dollar navy is WORTHLESS!!! /s
No COVER UP going on here /s
What’s next? Sparks in the center fuel tank distracted us from seeing those GIGANTIC ships coming right at us?
“Sir, is starboard left or right?”
“Sir, which lever makes the ship go Zoom Zoom?”
“General Quarters!” “Sir, aren’t generals in the navy called admirals?” “And where would their quarters on this ship be?”

“”The deputy head of Naval Personnel has been quietly tapped to lead an investigation into the collision between guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain (DDG-56) and a chemical tanker near Singapore, Navy officials told USNI News on Thursday.
Rear Adm. Richard Brown, commander of Naval Personnel Command and Deputy Chief of Naval Personnel,””
Look, all this social engineering and sensitivity training is not good for our military BUT, it wasn’t responsible for these deadly collisions.
If that were (it ISN’T!) the cause, it would be worse than a cyber attack.
It would mean that our $ BILLION (+) warships can be taken out by THOUSANDS of container ships at will, no special hacking equipment needed.
Unfortunately, the services have been downsized during the Obama reign of terror. When there simply are not enough people to do the job, things get omitted. If 500 personnel are needed for a ship, training can be skimped even though this means that sailors do not have a good grasp of their duties when they arrive on the ship.
The Admiral is correct. The "Do more with less" mentality can only be pushed so far.
would the Navy admit it if there was hacking? I don’t think so.
"In an initial investigative report on the Fitzgerald casualty, the Navy's Seventh Fleet suggested that the incident was due in large part to human factors. "The collision was avoidable and [the mariners involved] demonstrated poor seamanship. Within Fitzgerald, flawed watch stander teamwork and inadequate leadership contributed to the collision," Seventh Fleet said."
No explanation of the 8 ships showing up at an airbase simultaneously while using common navigation system.
Kim and the NORKs have already benefitted from some key vessels from our already depleted fleet (thanks 0bama!) being put out of action.
Of course not.
