The Navy has not had a good run the past few years. Im thinking someones @$$ is grass over this stupid event.
They have been too busy with undermining and resisting President Trump, celebrating drag queens, pushing women to the top of the surface fleet, teaching destroyers how to avoid colliding with container ships, gay pride month for homos, trannies, etc. And they missed the nuts and bolts of Navy stuff.
If the fire suppression system is offline, and maintenance is going on, then there should have been very muscular alternatives on how to prevent a fire like this.
Very low quality leadership and training happening in our Navy.
Navy Pentagon brass are notorious for their hubris and stupidity.
So unless that’s fixed only low rank will get the punishment butt he same crap will continue to effect the rest of the fleet until the brass is replaced with war fighters and not social experimenters. Thanks Bush/Obama
