The captain is expected to provide leadership and training -- he is responsible for training officers and crew members to be effective in their jobs without micro-managing. If one or more crew members are complete screw-ups then the job of the captain is to be sure they are managed out of the navy and are never placed in a position that can do harm to the ship or crew members. The captains of the ships in this thread failed to do any of the above --- and are therefore responsible for the problems with their ships.

I am not putting down others. just pointing out what could be a cause of a lack of talent. My trouble shooting list goes like this. 1. hacking. 2. chasing out to many good officers and 3. really bad training over the last 8 to 16 years 4. dumb standards promoting for reasons other than competence... 5. I welcome other answers. This is not an area I claim to have any expertise.... just point out some of things I read.
