Reply to "What the deuce?"

I have no doubt that like with most industrial catastrophes and  accidents involving major loss of life there are multiples of levels that have broken down, the human for sure one of those.  I know in the industries that I worked in when there was any kind of major accident most investigations revealed breakdowns on many levels involving several people and not just one system and one person. 

That said let's hope that is the issue and not some actual breech of our Navy's defense system that would render the ships protection measures inactive.   One report or article that I read did go there and indicated that they thought it was potentially a cyber attack upon our Navy and one in which they were probing deeper to find out just out much more they could hurt us.

Human breakdown is a given, at least to me, given the extreme maneuverability of the destroyer.  Heck if a seasoned and trained crew was on board and at the helm even if the tanker had been overtaken by pirates or Muslim combatants  with a desire to sink the destroyer it would be a futile task given the destroyer's power and maneuvering capabilities.  It could simply out run and out maneuver most any other ship in it's class and others close to it's size and that's not even taking into consideration the radar capabilities and built in protection measures that surely are secret and classified. 

I believe what we will have is yet another major turnover of personnel on the John McClain..  Then there also may be something to the pacification of our military turning them into powder puff soldiers as Obama and many liberals are so good at doing.  Putting more emphasis on sex changes than combat awareness.   At least a new chief is in control but it's going to take a while for his way of life to filter down and replace the old Sherrif.
