Litigate to Cover Incompetence; US Navy
Here we have the US Navy attempting to cover gross incompetence with legal suits, and perhaps saber rattle to avoid carrying the burden for the damages they caused.
1. Large ship, poorer maneuverability = right of way over small, fast, maneuverable USN destroyer
2. Captain and deck officers relieved and punished
3. USN training found inadequate, and new qualification programs instituted
Completely pathetic USN behavior.
Then comes the legal suits by the sailors against the shipping company. Of course they can't cash in against the USN. $5.5M for psychological pain and suffering?
Gross incompetence. Irresponsibility. Fraud.
