Or sailors that know how to read a meteorological report and act upon same. It all boils down to having folks aboard who have some smarts. All the data/information in the world is worthless if you don't have folks who know how to understand and apply same. |

Two new subs too, and will be named Arizona and Oklahoma in honor of the PH ships destroyed by the sneak attack. |

The last instances of destroyers being hit by cargo ships seemed to be: Inadequate training Dependence on electronics rather than seamanship Incompetence all around. General asshatery |
