USS John S. McCain collides with merchant ship

>>138400540
Jesus... not again

>>138400540
after being in the navy for 4 years and mingling with the retards they actually let slip through boot camp, I'm honestly surprised this shit doesn't happen more often.

when you fill your military with low IQ kids who want free college money, you get this.

It's the "McCain". What do you expect?

>>138400540
So the jews are involved?

Go easy on it, it has a helm-tumor and isn't steering straight these days. It should really be removed from service, but nobody will have it.

>>138400540
So first he burns a carrier, than he burns a nation and now hes just crashing ships. Good job brain cancer mccain

(((Merchant))) ship.

how the fuck do you collide on the sea
there's so much room

Sounds intentional

Are you saying the USS John McCain was piloted by nazis?

>>138400540
that's why you don't let transgenders and women in the military. It takes a man to do a man's job.

well i think we are seriously fucked if the navy sucks this much

>>138400540

John the McCainchuriate Canditate's name involved in destroying expensive naval hardware again, nothing to see here move along.

I was on the Lake Champlain we it collided with a fishing vessel off the coast of South Korea. I don't know what the fuck they were up to but the fisherman were drunk and asleep and in all that ocean our dumb cunt of an OOD couldn't avoid them. Officers for the most part are fucking idiots now. Critical thinking is not taught or encouraged and our Captain, who wasn't even on the ship had to pay the price for her fuckup. So that's our story. If you want to join the military as an officer be prepared for levels of faggotry you didn't even know were possible.

It's complicated.

Two things happened around the same time.

1. Bush era policy reworked the system of enlisted sailor retention. It was supposed to be an ideal merit-based retention system but its execution resulted in making a lot of highly qualified sailors unable to re-enlist while fresh blood filled the new middle-management positions.

2. Bootcamp got hit with the political correctness stick. In the highly abridged version, complete failures-shoulda-been-aborted adult kids signed up, got to bootcamp, found it too rough for their snowflake, and mommy and daddy got lawyers. The new PC attitude of the military forced them to backpedal the game and the bootcamp system lost its teeth. They used to really be able to figuratively lobotomize kids and replace their bullshit with discipline. But now they're forced to pass turds to the fleet.

Weak middle-management, Officers who gotta be PC PR, and inability to filter out the turds = increasing rate of major personnel fuckups.

Here's the thing... these ships have multiple safeguards to keep this exact thing from happening? Someone trying to covertly take out US assets maybe?

>>138400540

They named a ship after a living person?

>>138404469
even if china collapses tomorrow indians wont magically stop shitting in streets so idk about that

>>138406391

Not really

It's literally failing to give way by the helm.

Ships can't stop or turn on a dime.

>>138406557
No, John Mccain is undead so there's sort of a loophole there.

>>138406715
I get that, but I just can't see how this would happen twice. I've been fishing close to shipping lanes and ports before and the ships are very far apart.

Probably a distraction.

>>138407021

Sometimes they cross paths, and when someone makes a mistake, smash.

Depends on where it happened too to determine the likelihood of someone crossing in-front of someone else.

it's probably named after John S. McCain Sr., John McCain's grandfather who was a admiral

>>138400540
This was named after John McCain 1 and 2. John McCain III will never have anything named for him except an immortalized line of cancer cells possibly.

Yup your story checks out.

>If you want to join the military as an officer be prepared for levels of faggotry you didn't even know were possible.
Also correct. Hopefully commanding officers start taking seriously the recommendations to let their crew sleep 7-8 hours uninterrupted every day.

Again? Man, at this point the USN should just replace every OOW with one of those little mechanical drinking birds. You'd get the same results for a fuck of a lot cheaper.

>>138407500

literally impossible. Ship life is 24/7. Personnel just have to tough it out with discipline and coffee and take the brain damage.

McCain runs into a merchant.
I am not surprised

>>138408999

It's why the standards need to be so high, especially with warships that can make or break your war.

A retard messing up their ~100 dollar piece of infantry gear is one thing.

>>138408999

Whether it's in the pipes or the paint. Lead is surely the bane of man.

>>138409469
Watch rotations is roughly only a third of what a sailor spends his time doing. He's also training, running drills, cleaning, conducting maintenance, and participating in shipwide evolutions. The only way to manage that kind of 24/7 life is to sleep 4 hours some days, 8 hours other days, and muscle through the tough parts with discipline and stimulants.

Promised 8 hours uninterrupted sleep will just end in disaster.

This is what happens when you "diversify" your military. Every incompetent piece of shit fuckup that used to be begging for handouts is now running our military equipment and weapons. God help us.

>>138410292
I fully understand the demands placed on sailors. I also know that it's entirely possible to implement a watch schedule that includes adequate sleep for every sailor, every day.

Remember a couple months ago, when McCain was part of the second false flag attempt to stage chemical gas attacks in Syria, after the first widely documented failed attempt in 2013

>>138401093

dont forget the ones that are actually too retarded for navy go to coast guard next.

there are some real dull bulbs in the coast guard

What happens if the ship dies before the person for which it's named does?

>>138411924
I was personally able to implement such a plan. Less work hours were carried out yet all the work was carried out on time and we got caught up on delinquent quals. Turns out productivity is highly correlated to amount of quality sleep.

Who the hell ley John McCain pilot a Navy warshipnin the first place, ya dingus?

>>138413208
what department? For example, I doubt you could be successful when crews are being rotated off 140F flight decks due to heat stress concerns.

It was just showing solidarity with its namesake, Cancer McBrain.

>>138413499
Deck department. I can't/won't comment about flight deck crew work cycles in a public forum.

>>138414269
I got out because I said I wasn't going to get the chance to fix the Navy's problems, and I only have one life to live. If you have a real opportunity to fix things, DO IT.

>>138400540
They let old boy McCain drive and he had a blonde moment.

>>138414538
It's like Jordan B Peterson teaches. Start small, start with what you can control. First I sorted myself out, then I was able to work on my division, and things went well from there until I transferred. Everyone has an opportunity to make their immediate surroundings better.
