Today's Navy and armed forces are not the same as the ones we dinosaurs served in. The touchy, feely PC crowd with there sensitivity training and social experiment programs have all but destroyed them. Those boat crews and their boats should have never gone out with all the issues they had from equipment malfunctions to lack of training. I have no idea who was in charge of maintenance, but they obviously were gun-decking their PMS, that is dereliction of duty when I served. If you cant trust your shipmates to do their job, you are in a world of hurt.
