God Help us if this describes a significant portion of the Navy

As the arm chair warriors ring in to tell us all how badass they'd be in that situation.

Yes, it was a scary situation, but that is what comes with being in the military.

Obama's weaklings.

That's how he likes his sailors this rat of a President.

the sailors made a minor error------going slightly off course is
a minor error------the Iranian action was one of criminal aggression. The US response is idiotic----ie --no response but---BLAME THE KIDS and knock the officers to pieces

The boat was defective and broke down; it should not have ever sailed.

When captured, the crew failed to follow the regulations for denying information to the enemy.

The sailors apparently talked like jr high girls at a slumber party.

From the base commander to the crew, everybody is in trouble there.

VERY VERY in trouble-----even the ship is in trouble---such a ship carries a criminal record until its HONOR (?) is restored by some weird magical navy ritual and custom. I blame it on Obama (commander in chief---in the navy shit is SUPPOSED to roll uphill) Obama acted like Iran is a kind of friend. "LETS ALL BE NICE TO IRAN----give Iran money---Iran is so nice to us---it says it will not make a nuclear bomb---kiss Iran"
The kids had no reason to believe that they would be rescued---remember CARTER?

the pueblo people acted---in general---with honor----and were screwed by the USA

You're wrong.

In what way am I wrong----My father served in the US NAVY, I served and my son served. What DO YOU KNOW about the US Navy? We are not at war with Iran------a navigation error should not be made into an international incident. When your son is on active duty----things will be different----for my part Iran can torpedo his ass off---so I can laugh

My family, you goof ball, have served since King Philip's War more than 300 years ago. That means my brother and me, my cousins, and our nephews. We have bled, three have died, and we know how to serve and we were and how we are serving.

The failure in the chain of command begins at the base with the Commander and goes on down to the crews and the boats. There were deficiencies galore.

You listen up. I guarantee you the Commander in Chief is not going around a small navy installation at the ass end of the world doing checks.

You are talking knucklehead, trainee, to even suggest such crap.

Washington (CNN)A devastating new report by military investigators released Thursday found that the 10 sailors captured by Iranians in January suffered from "failed leadership" at all levels on a mission that was plagued by mistakes from beginning to end.

Utter chaos and slop......John Kerry would be proud

Navigation is a very basic skill for a naval officer.

But not everybody stays awake in class.

BHO must seriously be some kind of GOD to have all this power and to be involved in all this shit.

I like the man a lot but it strikes me as odd how the far right fringe paints BHO to be God-like.

That's not a "minor error" that's a big fvcking mistake for any naval officer.

Throughout history the only thing that a naval officer has had to do is be able to navigate.

 

[yiostheoy]

It sounds like a very poor small boat division in one particular command at the end of the known world.

An IG is absolutely needed to investigate the leadership.

I agree. Definitely a "career wrecker" for the officers on board.

Would be good to know who was sleeping during navigation class.

The E/M's will get redeployed aboard garbage scows.

But there is nothing any EM can do when under the command of an incompetent and inept officer.

It was reported the sailors provided phone numbers and computer passwords among other information. I heard that from a Pentagon briefing.

Navy admits sensitive information was given to Iran.

US sailors divulged sensitive information while held by Iran, Navy says

WASHINGTON — U.S. sailors who blundered into Iranian waters in January divulged sensitive information to their captors while held at gunpoint by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a U.S. Navy report said Thursday.

It said some of the 10 crew members gave away capabilities of their vessels, one of them disclosing his vessel’s potential speed and suggesting it was on a “presence” mission to demonstrate U.S. military power in the Persian Gulf.

The incident, which embarrassed the United States, rattled nerves days before implementation of a nuclear accord between Iran and world powers negotiated by President Barack Obama’s administration.

“It is clear that some, if not all, crew members provided at least some information to interrogators beyond name, rank, service number and date of birth,” the report said.


US sailors divulged sensitive information while held by Iran, Navy says

Well the trick is not to get caught by the enemy.

If you see an enemy approaching you need to go to battle stations right away.

If the enemy is bigger than you are (frigate vs patrol boat, destroyer vs frigate, missile cruiser vs destroyer, etc.) then you are supposed to run like hell at full speed ahead.

Nothing has changed in naval surface warfare over the past 25 centuries.

Boats are always supposed to travel in pairs.

If one has engine trouble the other one can tow it away.

Otherwise the rules and procedures of naval surface warfare do not change -- run like hell at full speed ahead.
