Navy probe finds major failures in fire that destroyed ship

​
"
The report spreads blame across a wide range of ranks and responsibilities, from the now retired three-star admiral who headed Naval Surface Force Pacific Fleet — Vice Adm. Richard Brown — to senior commanders, lower ranking sailors and civilian program managers. Seventeen were cited for failures that “directly” led to the loss of the ship, while 17 others “contributed” to the loss of the ship. Two other sailors were faulted for not effectively helping the fire response.

Adm. William Lescher, the vice chief of naval operations, has designated the commander of U.S. Pacific Fleet to handle any disciplinary actions for military members. The Navy officials said the disciplinary process is just beginning."

Comment: Court-martial-worthy?

Congress and DoD and DON should appropriately fund and man these ships, allow them the down time to conduct maintenance and training in accordance with instruction, and either decrease the number of missions that result in overextending these ships or increase the number of ships, personnel, and funding available for the Navy.

Probably not court-martial worthy for most (or all) of them. If anyone is held accountable, it has to start with leadership. It was a huge loss, but the main focus should be on learning.

LB.Reporting suggests there is one Sailor "charged" with arson.

I wasn’t counting him, he deserves a Court-Martial.
