USS John S. McCain

Both USS Fitzgerald and USS John S. McCain were 7th Fleet ships. Why isn’t the admiral in the dock as well? Or instead?

The commander should definitely be removed. Here is a fantastic podcast done by This American Life on Human Error. Talks about a Missile Silo and the McCain and one other thing I think.

At one time responsibility went up the chain as well as down. I think the modern Navy is a much different one than my great grandfather served in during WWII.

He was forced to retire, I believe.

Yea I remember that, I’m just talking about why he’s not being charged with anything. How far removed from the incident can you go up the chain of command? Can we have Trump charged? lol

I don’t know, but it’s a mystery to me why the admiral isn’t being drawn and quartered.

there has been a series of incidents.

This is on top of resentmentthat of 25% of the island being taken up by US bases. The Okinawans feel they carry an unnecessary burden as 75% of all US personel in Japan are based on the tiny island.
