The air industry is very good at blame-less post-mortems and finding root causes. I think the Navy could benefit from some things from their playbook. I think one major contributing factor is that Navy ships are so bespoke compared to airliners.
- sgarland 2y agoThe Nuclear Navy is also excellent at post-mortems (though they’re called critiques – it is still quite possible and reasonable to blame someone if indeed it was personnel failure) and finding root causes. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that the conventional fleet did things completely differently.
- Prickle 2y agoUnfortunately, the conventional US Navy has an incredibly bad history when it comes to post mortem investigations. They have very consistently used scapegoats to hide systematic issues, or problems caused by people higher up the chain. Someone needs to polish their brass before that happens.
