Is this how the Navy deals with accidents? I can understand being fired for failing to do your duty but operating a sub is both hard and dangerous. Things are going to go wrong. If everyone did their job isn’t this just a learning opportunity?

- michaelt 5y agoFor people who aren't the captain, it might indeed merely be a learning opportunity. But if you're the captain of a ship that's at fault in a crash? The inadequacies revealed in the crew's training are kinda your fault. For example, in 2017 when the USS Fitzgerald collided with a container ship [1] and the captain was relieved of his command, despite the fact he'd been in bed during the collision. It's normal, in 95% of jobs, that if you cause $$$$$$$$ of damage by making a mistake, you get fired. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Fitzgerald https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Fitzgerald
