The Navy said last week that it would discipline a dozen sailors who were aboard the Fitzgerald, including the top two officers and the top enlisted sailor, whose careers are almost certainly over. Adm. William F. Moran, vice chief of naval operations, said the sailors who were on watch in the ship’s bridge “lost situational awareness,” contributing to the collision.
After this latest collision, the Navy needs to discipline the Admiral in charge of the Seventh Fleet.

<“lost situational awareness,”>


In my prior work word , the above was a the politically correct way of saying they were not looking out the windows or at the radar screens or reading the data in front of them. They missed successive red flags until the collision occurred.
