navy collision
 
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29790709/


too many incidents recently involving our ships. i'm sure everyone heard about the ship that was grounded in hawaill a month or so ago..this time, a nuke sub and an amphibious ship in the strait of hormuz. so, two more captains will be relieved-but the DoD and top navy brass need to get a handle on their commanding officers for a start. not all ships that collide or are damaged make the news either. my sons ship had to make an unscheduled stop for repairs recently after scraping bottom. an investigation ongoing, but no removal of the capt as yet.

The whales and dolphins are getting even for the sonar testing and have developed ways to channel all their "sonar" and make the ships crash.

or someone asleep (literally?) at the wheel? i doubt you can find the capt of the amphib ship at fault. they aren't supposed to be looking for submerged subs...the sub on the other hand-i hope that guy is ready to retire, as it's upon him.
