Mad Dog,

I don't really know enough about these incidents to be in a position to discuss blame one way or the other . But I agree these charges ae serious and must be the most extreme taken against any naval officers within living memory. Makes you wonder if the Navy is strategically covering its six in expectation of any impending legal/compensation claims by the families of deceased sailors. I also wonder how these legal actions will go down with those at Annapolis who are currently aspiring to careers as naval officers?

These circumstances are not equivalent to 'friendly fire' incidents occurring during combat... these were normal peacetime operation that any sea captain incurs every day. It is plainly dereliction of duty by a lot of crewmen, and the CO is ultimately responsible for performance of all aboard, including training.. Manslaughter or murder is perhaps a stretch. Is Navy making a statement to other CO's in future?
