I still remember you were so sure the previous accidents had nothing to do with the US Navy. Still remember you wrote essays on the professionalism of the US Navy and argue with a few members here
It wasn't.
The report the US Navy made released on Nov 1 DID NOT CONSIDER THE ACTION OF THE OTHER PARTY. It was a "PERFORMANCE REPORT" for solely the US Navy personnel. We have the same in the Army, it was called "After Action Report" which basically outline how or what caused the issue (sailor being killed in this case) and would not assign blame on it.
As I said immediately after the crash, the Captains of the US Destroyer are at fault (It was the Captain command failure leading to sailor being killed), and quote my original word "HEAD WILL ROLL", that does not mean the US Destroyer caused the accident. That is an different issue.
If that report is to assign blame, then tell me why the conclusion is the same, when the circumstance are different, when one (Fitzgerald) does not have the right of way and the other (USS McCain) does? In term of blame, since two incident is polar opposite, they would have different consequence and cannot be the same because the circumstance are polar opposite.
The "INCIDENT REPORT" was due by US Coast Guard, that report, along with Japan Coast Guard, that one would assign blame. Also a private one for Insurance purpose, that one would assign blame on the incident.
