Apparently, the OOD was not talking to any of the officers in the CIC because of a personal tiff that was ongoing.
Check the long article on Pro Publica on he Fitzgerald collision. Quite shocking that points fingers at the ship's officers, the ship's company (for lack of training), the skipper, the COMMSEVENTHFLT, and the Big Navy. It's not your grandfather's Navy.
I was in nearly 30 years ago...today's Navy wasn't my Navy, either. I'm not saying that officers and enlisted didn't have issues with one another, but we were always professional enough not to let them get in the way of our mission.
