No worries, happy to helpOriginally posted by Cruiser View Post“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”Comment

I didn't know YouTube commenters could use such impressive deductive reasoning! Ships involved in collisions off the coast of Asia are owned and operated by people from the same continent! Somebody better notify the US Navy Brass!From the comments section:
"The next point to consider is the fact that all these cargo / merchant ships involved in these incidents are Chinese or Asian owned and manned vessels so there is obviously some thing going on that is covert and deliberate about the collisions."Comment

Comments on non- or lightly moderated boards/forums tend to be a) highly partisan and b) factually worthless. One reason I like WAB is that most idiots are run off fairly quickly.
In years past the Navy has fired an awful lot of Commanding Officers, upwards of 30+ a year. I have no idea if that trend continues, but what sort of mentality does it create in the 'survivors'? How does it affect their interaction with their crew?Comment

Certificates expired ....
Yikes, ships and crew deployed without certificates.Originally posted by tbm3fan View Post
A little confusion on my part, if only 10 were reported upon and there are 28 some total certificates are the 10 the most critical?Comment

Not meaning to minimize the importance of training, but this hardly explains how these collisions occurred.Originally posted by tbm3fan View PostComment
