The USS episodes were close quarters excercises and some were lousy command structures notice the results. No a$$ scratching or watch winding. The command was changed and the training bettered. You sound like a target sailor.

That, reportedly, has not helped. And, as the investigations into the recent collision incidents have shown, training all over the Navy is in a pretty bad state right now.

My point is this - our Navy, all branches of it, is NOT what it was as little as ten years ago and its capabilities have been severely degraded through ‘advanced social experimentation and engineering’ and a severe lack of training combined with budget cuts and stupidity at higher levels. (See: Stupid littoral ship program, DDX-1000 that doesn’t have any ammo or working missiles.) Under Trump, the Navy is starting to recover - but it still isn’t the titan it was when Bush I left office or even in the condition it was in when Bush II left.
