I know it is a stretch, but there is enough unexplainable error that is not uncommon in past events to indicate the possibility of a bit more going on behind the scenes. words are worth their weight in gold, and double from the mouth of a non-expert. Regardless, if some malicious software had found its way into the navigation system causing an accident like this, i would do my best (were it my responsibility) to hush up the whole thing, up to and including unfair firings and forced resignations. I know this feels wrong, but i am reminded of the brave and morally ambiguous members of Ultra during WWII. Time and again, they did not act on good intel that would have saved lives because keeping the enemy in the dark was the most important objective. Nonetheless, this is little more than daydreaming. The US Navy is in a very hard place to be. The US Navy is about the size of every navy in the world combined. It is the second largest air force in the world. It operates concurrently in every maritime zone on the planet. It is supposed to be able to provide humanitarian relief as well as the fire of god at a moments notice to almost any location. Accidents happen regardless of training. I think the author is dead on in terms of institutionalizing bad habits, but at the same time we do not know the whole story.
