Article on 2017 USS Fitzgerald collision

I saw this. I had to chuckle a little inside about everyone who made disparaging comments about the Russian and Chinese navies.

 

Current???

 

17-year-old software seems to be a strange criticism to add to a pile of vastly more consequential problems.

There's not much reason to even mention it.

 

Well yeah....especially since it never really worked in the first place.

 

THAT is a legit criticism.

I mean, there's software older than me on ships and planes all through our services.

 

I and 3 of my siblings served...3 in communications and 1 Dr. When we got together the stories were enough to make you laugh and quite often to cry.

 

I saw the article before, started reading it, but it started with too much drama for me.

Is their conclusion to throw more money at the problem?

 

The main problem isn't money but too many missions and not enough training.

 

Apparently not...ignoring it is SNAFU!
