#1 booting the CO is Sop, but the XO and CMC ? sounds like a bad climate existed on the ship. no mention of status of the OOD and bridge crew on duty at the time.

#2 Beso, Sometimes the enlisted man is guilty too. This collision was the most avoidable I can remember seeing - there had to be plenty of screwups for it to have happened.

#3 In the US Navy, being too close to a FAIL is generally the end of your career.
There's constantly people trying to come up the ladder, and it's too easy to make space at the top by knocking someone off. Not only can they do without you, in 2 years they won't even remember your name.
