I do not believe that this topic can be discussed with any degree of openness here, lest one run afoul of regime dogma, however, what is more important than remaining institutional accountability in the submarine services, is the trajectory/heading of that culture.
To your point, the heading of the accountability culture is in fact bleeding into the civilian world, just likely not as you may want it to. The submarine services are a severely lagging, not leading indicator, the antipode of the canary. Expect more of these kinds of events, because the pillars that uphold and scales that measure health of any system can only be fudged and messed around with for so long before reality will no longer be refused its pound.
The reason why the submarine services have been the one of the far outliers that cause them to be extreme lagging indicators, is that the consequences in both life, treasure, and consequences is so immense that there was always not only a zero failure policy, but a multiple redundancy zero failure policy. That is also why these sailors were held accountable, because as in all the other recent events, multiple redundant system nodes were undermined to produce the failures.
