While I understand your sentiment, and having been in the Navy myself, I on the other hand do find it a joke that a conn full of NCO's, and Officers could use outdated charts to steer a billion dollar boat into an under sea mountain and kill a sailor who was doing his job.

I had an XO who had that kind of arrogance. He ran us aground as well.

Stupidity comes in all forms ... in the Navy it shows up in over confidence and lack of intelligence.


======================

As to the cuties ... none of them should have heard me. They armed at 500 feet, the USS Trout at all stop, rigged for silent running was making more noise than a 16 knot escort at 1800 yards that was directly in front of them. It wasn't even a circling issue. They came after me and stayed after me even all stop, rigged for silent running and at 350 feet.

I only went ahead flank to see if they would follow me towards the target and then go all stop in hopes they would pick up the target noise but no such luck.

Just a waste to only get two ship out of all those torpedoes.
