Navy Punishes Leadrship of USS Fitzgerald following collision off coast of Japan
Unnecessary & likely preventable deaths of 7 young sailors.
A Captains Mast (which is Nonjudicial Punishment (NJP), also referred to as “Captain’s Mast” (Navy & Coast Guard), “Office Hours” (USMC) and “Article 15” (Army and Air Force), is a relatively informal and low-level forum for handling minor misconduct.) But, several investigations continue. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/...-japan-n793746 Best Sirs & RIP guys & thank-you for your enlistment. Prayers go out to your family & loved ones. Bob P.S. I know there was a thread or post about this accident a month or so ago -- but, surely couldn't find it.

Tragic and preventable event.
Easy to say, we were not there, but still begs the question what the %€^*£ really were the captain and relief officers thinking for the sake of the sailors who lost their lives, this price was all for "zero reason". We all sign up knowing the risk, but trust our fellow shipmates to stand watch and do their duty. In the end the Captain is culpable, and those that signed qualification cards for those who were stationed on watch. I'm sure the ones culpable are sick to their stomach and also never will be the same. Yes Bob, thoughts and prayers to all the families still dealing with this matter! |
