#3 ^Right. Very probably the CO, maybe the XO, Navigator can kiss their careers goodbye.
The only thing that would save them is if it can be proven that the other ship deliberately rammed them or something.

#4 Captain Dave Snowden, linked in bio
Somebody smart in Navy culture, take a look at his past assignments, and the duration of them. Seems short and a touch out of place for a naval aviator?

#5 An aircraft Carrier has two chains of commands. One chain runs the ship while the other runs the air crews. The ship’s Captain can not command the aircrews captain. How did an airman become a ships captian?

#6 Not a sailor, but old Army insight into sequential brevity in senior command and staff career assignments, either a really fast burner/high performer being pulled up to specific job he fits perfectly, or the ring-knocker/rabbi protection program for a less than stellar officer.
