No way the story makes sense as written. The freighter lookouts saw the scope and maneuvered to avoid it, yet no one on the sub saw the freighter?
If the scope was up, someone should have been on it. If no one was on it, someone was slacking, which could very well lead to a lack of confidence in the CO's leadership.
In the end, the CO is responsible for every screwup under his command.
