At least they were duds, and not "misses".

And on top of that there where a hand full of other skippers that did similar things with keeping meticulous records and checking the weapons themselves before firing. And still BudOrd blamed the captains. I think justice would have been taking the guys from BudOrd that KNEW the Mk. had serious faults, and put them in front of a firing squad. Gross dereliction of duty in a time of war, or knowingly hazarding the lives of fellow sailors, or something like that.


I know a firing squad might be a little much, but at least someone should have spent time in a military prison. 8 or 10 years in a prison where they give you a sledge hammer and your job is to turn big rocks into little rocks. They did that in military prisons back in the 40's and 50's right? If not then they should have.
