Even though one of the lead of sentences is rather screwed up by the writer, the report is horrible. I surely hope the US Navy has corrected these deficiencies already. I doesn't appear to me, that this ship should have been allowed to go to sea. Or the skipper should have refused. "Their report documents the routine, almost casual, violations of standing orders on a Fitz bridge that often lacked skippers and executive officers, even during potentially dangerous voyages at night through busy waterways." https://www.navytimes.com/news/your...erald-probe-the-navy-doesnt-want-you-to-read/ https://www.navytimes.com/news/your...rships-crew-never-saw-the-vessel-that-hit-it/ https://www.navytimes.com/news/your...ndecision-and-ultimately-panic-on-the-bridge/
