If X exists, and if Y happened, X caused Y. It just make sense when you think about it. And once you've found someone to blame for a problem, the solution becomes obvious. It's fool-proof, especially if you don't like X.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-41799862786867265872018-02-12T15:04:51.792-08:002018-02-12T15:04:51.792-08:00Anon:

At that time radio navigation aids were new and not completely trusted. USS Delphy was equipped with a radio navigation receiver, but her navigator and captain ignored its indicated bearings, believing them to be erroneous. No effort was made to take soundings of water depths due to the necessity of slowing the ships down to take the measurements. The ships were performing an exercise that simulated wartime conditions, hence the decision was made not to slow down. In this case, the dead reckoning was wrong, and the mistakes were fatal. Despite the heavy fog, Commodore Watson ordered all ships to travel in close formation and, turning too soon, went aground. Six others followed and sank. Two ships whose captains disobeyed the close-formation order survived, although they also hit the rocks.<br />...<br />The Navy court ruled that the disaster was the fault of the fleet commander and the flagship's navigators. They assigned blame to the captain of each ship, following the tradition that a captain's first responsibility is to his own ship, even when in formation. ... The court martial ruled that the events of the Honda Point Disaster were "directly attributable to bad errors and faulty navigation" by Captain Watson. Watson was stripped of his seniority, and three other officers were admonished.<br />---<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-77378735267701855682018-02-12T12:26:12.792-08:002018-02-12T12:26:12.792-08:00Diversity training preempted seamanship training.Diversity training preempted seamanship training.Sam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00996809377798862214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-89368880148519078892018-02-12T07:25:56.042-08:002018-02-12T07:25:56.042-08:00Redacted, no one is Special, not even you.Redacted, no one is Special, not even you.Jack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873320680596889057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-3451215812100234192018-02-12T07:07:39.219-08:002018-02-12T07:07:39.219-08:00Schneiderman, you need a second blog to accomodate...Schneiderman, you need a second blog to accomodate some of your audience.

And I'm not even going to mention what happened at Pearl Harbor or Savo Island where not a single gay or woman was involved.<br /><br />Although I do credit the insight of the article, apart from a dozen or two thousand others, USS <i>Little Rock</i> was certainly the very first ship trapped in ice.
