I would tend to agree with CNO.

Ahh, yeah Richardson did raise the possibility that it could've been a cyber attack that enabled the collision or something like that though.

Seriously though, how the frick do you not have a guy looking out the window? It's not like they're crashing with little dinghies.

Poor guy will have to retire with only Three Stars!

This shite happened. And then kept happening under his watch. Sailors kept dying.
This was the correct response. I think that it was a few months late.

It's something I admire about the Navy.
What's the temperature on SailorBob right now?

<---- submarine vet, so I have no idea what I'm talking about, BUT
That's why you don't put aviators in command of an entire fleet.

When I heard about the most recent one, I thought it be the Secretary of the Navy who got relieved. It sucks, but someone is fricking up to have this keep happening. Once is an accident, twice is a pattern

Who makes this call?
Admiral Swift, his boss. Swift is in charge of the entire Pacific Fleet. Though I'm sure he consulted Admiral Richardson and SECNAV before making the call.

These accidents should NOT be happening........but at night on open water, a guy looking out the window probably isn't as helpful as you'd think.

H O L Y shite. they are removing an Admiral. Wow. This makes no sense as they said they are investigating possible sabotage of TWO NAVY ships colliding.
I guess I should read the article.

There would be 3 Look-Outs ... and all would be outside the skin of the ship on sound-powered phones to the Bridge and each other.
There is no way that this should happen.

We all know of some C.O.'s that are asses that have the liberty boat guys pick up their mistresses for the night and party all night like a big shot; but this is like worse than McHale's Navy fricked up.

Vice Admiral Joseph Aucoin, the three-star commander of the U.S. Seventh Fleet based in Yokosuka, Japan, will be relieved of command on Wednesday in connection with four collisions since January, including two involving fatalities, two U.S. officials said, according to the Journal.
