Do ship commanders such as the removed captain of the Fitzgerald decide staffing levels? If sleep deprivation contributed this accident (as many are speculating), I am nevertheless skeptical that the people who are responsible for systemic lack of sleep will be held accountable.

If you're just spitballing, fine, but I don't see any reason to make statements like these without doing some research first, much less express skepticism, particularly when presented with very recent evidence that leadership is being held responsible.

How much flexibility do they have in adjusting arrival time, particularly if [unforeseen] circumstances delay transit?
