    Fleet wide training as well as command, the bright spot with the Fitzgerald was the core group of senior Petty Officers apparently rallied the crew in various areas to save personnel and perform damage control to save the ship. IMO the previous administration systematically stripped the readiness and ability of our military with the intention that failures would occur. You don't hear about these incident with other navies are they occurring and we are just not being informed or have we slipped that far?
