"An obscene dereliction of duty to allow the ship into the area BEFORE monitoring for radiation."

Not at all. This is a NUCLEAR POWERED CARRIER. They monitor radiation ALL THE TIME. Radiation detectors are built in to the vessel, and as another poster stated, they have mechanisms to actually operate in a high-radiation environment (as would likely be the case if there was a war).

So your "concern" is unwarranted.
