BTW, this ship is named after Admirals John S. McCain Sr. and John S. McCain Jr., not the currently existing prick in the Senate (their offspring).

Brain cancer and now this. Just some karma for Mr. McCain.

I didn't know they named a ship after that greasy cunt.

Navy to Pause Operations, Review Collisions, With 10 Missing

https://www.wsj.com/articles/navy-begins-broad-review-of-collisions-with-10-sailors-still-missing-1503329812

The U.S. Navy announced a pause in its global operations and patrols and has begun a broad investigation after the destroyer USS John S. McCain collided with a merchant vessel, leaving 10 sailors missing, the second such incident in as many months.

The response by the U.S. military signals the Navy believes it needs to examine whether there may be institutional problems behind the deadly collisions.

Navy Adm. John Richardson, the chief of naval operations, made the announcement about the operational pause during a nearly four-minute video message posted on Facebook Monday morning. Adm. Richardson said he also ordered a broader investigation.

“I directed an operational pause be taken in all of our fleets around the world,” Adm. Richardson said. “I want our fleet commanders to get together with their leaders and their commands to ensure that we are taking all appropriate immediate actions to ensure safe and effective operations around the world.”

Such a pause applies to operations and patrols of the Navy’s six fleets. Specifics of the pause are at the discretion of fleet commanders, officials said.

Adm. Richardson also said there would be a comprehensive investigation would look at operational tempo, personnel, maintenance, equipment and training, suggesting a confluence of factors was behind the collisions.

distraction? there is quite a bit lately with statues and parades and antifa and cleaning the white house. how many distractions are happening right now? and NK and the navy boats crashing and the fake news and the eclipse and other stuff

How can 10 sailors go missing? Did they fall into the water in the collision, and they couldn't find them afterwards? I would say perhaps one or three, but ten people? That is absurd...

Yes, likely in the water, or trapped, dead, in a compartment, as happened with the recent USS Fitzgerald (7 dead there).

Amazing goes to show how totally vulnerable those floating targets are, too much reliance on electronics and computers to do jobs that eyeballs and voices used to.

Ships are designed completely around those electronic features as stone these days, no doubt.

Mercury is in retrograde that's why the communication systems stopped working. ;D

Seems like you were right!
