Navy officer to step down after summer of deadly ship crashes

We had a Weapons Officer and Supervisor of Flying Exchange Officer work withy us at Kunsan Air Base while the VMF-214 Squadron practiced carrier landings on our runway for two weeks.
He had some interesting information for us.
During that two weeks, they did a practice deployment onto one of the emergency runways on the Seoul Pusan Highway northeast of Kunsan and southeast of Camp Humphreys, for 12 hours.
Setting up their "ball operations" and then breaking off their operations and moving their pattern up above our F-16s pattern during our recover was really challenging.
But we did it, and recovered our 2 squadrons of Falcons.
Then we returned the runways ops back to the Navy Exchange Office in the tower cab.

So get a clue, swabbie. and GET AN EDUCATION !

Here’s a link for you, dumbass. USS Fitzgerald, USS John S. McCain Collision Report

Pages 21 and 59 list the findings. Start your education there.. There wasn’t any spoofing or hacking that caused these events asshole.

[Yosemitest]

The problem with hacking or spoofing the GPS of the ships that collided into our Navy ships is ... that it cannot be proven, unless you have a video recording of that ships system, showing the ‘swing’.

Had a Squadron Commander, a LT. Col., says the same thing.

It’s curious to some that a crew with a heightened alert status, fresh off a mission that defied a major national power, would not notice, or easily avoid a 600-foot Liberian oil tanker.

And how would such a crew not be able to avoid a tanker? They are nowhere near as nimble as a Navy ship. Even your GPS spoofing isn't going to cause them to be unable to avoid a collision. That's a major failure somewhere in the Navy, whether it's inadequate training, inadequate attention to detail, or a failure to maintain standards and basic Naval seamanship. And multiple incidents imply it's not just a single CO, wider spread in the Navy means something bigger is wrong.

If you've just been zapped with an E.M.P Transmitter, and you have no power AT ALL,
then HOW are you going to stop, turn, or do anything to avoid a collision ?

First off, most Navy ships should have a backup to the backup steering system, which is manual and doesn’t need power. And an EMP burst will likely damage enough stuff / your engine to where it doesn’t work, and you’ll slow then drift, not just keep going.
But your article is ridiculous, the dude is going on about a conspiracy within a conspiracy (his words, not mine). I’d take that whore article with a pretty big grain of salt.

And what does an EMP have to do with GPS spoofing?

[Yosemitest]

They've got the capability and we've got the capability.
Do you know about CHAMP and its capabilities ?

With an E.M.P. transmitter like WE HAVE on the CHAMP, there would NOT be an explosion, or a shock wave to cause such damage as you think that would happen.
What would happen is that many computer circuits would burn out within overload of static electricity.

"First off, most Navy ships should have a backup to the backup steering system, which is manual and doesn’t need power. "

And just HOW would such a system work, with all the force working against the rudder from water pressure of movement of such a heavy ship ?
Cables and gears, and wenches ... but turned BY WHAT ?
Motors without electric circuits ?
When's the last time the Navy even allowed such antiquated equipment on their ships ?
How many times a year do you think they even practice for such a situation ?
