What I find interesting is how these officers get promoted, assume command, and then the Navy discovers a problem.

Tom, there is a possibility, maybe even probability in some cases that there wasn't a problem with the CO. Maybe there was a problem with an asinine squadron commander, and the ship CO told him to pack sand, or resisted in the interest of his crew. I seen that once.
