Shouldn't this be something the Navy keeps out of the public eye?

focus energy and intellect back onto the basics of submarine operations.Reminds me of a story about Vince Lombardi when he was coaching at Notre Dame.
"Gentlemen, this is a submarine."

They obviously need Michelle Manhart to start training the seamen.

My brother served on a nuclear sub out of Conn. I thought I heard that once you've been on a sub for an extended period of time, you aren't put on again. Is that true? I'm just wondering if he would be on one of these subs.

This was becoming a problem on my submarine when I was in 1980's. On a submarine you have to qualify to receive you dolphin pin. With that pin means you know the whole sub, its valves, emergency items, etc. I failed my first test but the second time I was the first to answer every question thrown at me. After that we change many of our chiefs. This group wouldn't fail anyone because it might hurt their feelings. I sat two boards that I wanted to fail the people but my vote was changed by the officer and the chief. It is no wonder that they don't understand what they are doing.

This is not as unusual as one might think at first glance.
Back when I was in the Corps we lost 3 or 4 aircraft in 10 days, peacetime.
The Commandant ordered a stand down with empasis on safety and procedure.
This kind of thing serves at least 1 useful purpose. It shakes people awake and out of their rut.
Anyway, subs are hideously expensive and it pays for everyone to keep on their toes.
