Hopefully this tragic event will serve as a long lasting reminder to all who serve that certain standards must be maintained at every moment in time.

Who was the OOD at the time of the collision? I would think they would be first on the accountability list.
Can any Navy person tell me why they are going after the Senior Petty Officer? Is this the same the Chief of the Boat in the Sub service?

uss stark odor
1. One of stories was that the radar-man failed to detect the inbound missiles on the sps-40 radar display.
Fact: Subsequent analysis showed the SPS-40 could not have detected the missiles. 2. Could have used ECM chaff/decoys. Fact: Hard to do when the launchers are locked and you can't get the keys. This was the first time I ran into the issue of CO's not trusting the crew. This was magnified when SSDS was introduced to the amphibs. It provided a quick response kill capability. It meant that the CO's would get their first indication of an engagement when the weapons fired. I used Fleet Command to demonstrate the 7 second detect to engage window which if SSDS was not in auto it was to late . This was 17 years ago. I will not comment on Aegis, they and Wayne Meyer were (and I assume minus adm Meyer still are) a legend in their own minds. 3. CIWS missed the targets ! Fact: The CIWS was down awaiting parts CASREPT status unknown. 4. The crew paid a heavy price. To bad the systems they depended on were "no go". It did teach us what Exocet unspent fuel does to aluminum structures. |

isn't this the third such mishap involving the 7th fleet, in the last 2 years? I'm beginning to wonder if the problem begins a little higher in the chain of command?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/20/asia/u...ore/index.html Maybe so, but this is a basic seamanship issue. See Other Boat. Identify Other Boat. Avoid Other Boat. But to make it simple, you can skip the second step. And only skip the third if you are flying the jolly roger, but then you still should do the second one. |

Jeebus whatever happened to calling the captain when CPA was inside the 2 mile 'bubble'. Right of way or not Never ever cross the bow of another ship. We need to start licensing these ring knockers.
