In the courtmartial, I rather suspect the commander will find the sword pointing at him as he walks back in to face the verdict...
Nurse, where the fuck's my cardigan?
And my gin!

Shit rolls downhill. They'll blame a lower rank, and demob him. If they can't make the shit stick to a lower rank, they'll still blame him and discipline the CO.

Re: Shhh. Top Secret submarine....
There is, at least in the USN, no automatic court-martial for a grounding. USS Enterprise grounded quite publicly in San Francisco Bay one time, and as far as I know, nobody got busted. The ships are usually in the hands of a pilot, someone very familiar with those particular waters, but the sea seldom sends out notices when a new sandbar is formed.JimC wrote:In the courtmartial, I rather suspect the commander will find the sword pointing at him as he walks back in to face the verdict...

A young officer named Chester Nimitz once ran his ship aground. Someone eventually decided that it wasn't really his fault, and gave him a second chance to make something of himself.Gawdzilla wrote:There is, at least in the USN, no automatic court-martial for a grounding.
