USS Fitzgerald collision in C7F

As somebody once pointed out to me...port and starboard rotations (6 on 6 off...or 12 on 12 off) is pretty damn circadian.

This won't solve anything without a closer look at manning to identify shortfalls in trained, qualified bodies onboard our smaller vessels.

This new mandate will piss off all types of surface nukes, you start 5 x 10 and then as you get senior the watchbill gets better, in order to get a decent schedule for all you are going to have to take senior guys and put them on junior watches. There was a time when on the Lincoln they wanted to even out the watchbill and it was not good, LCDR's were standing watches stood by LT's to CPO's, CPO's were standing watches normally stood by E-6/E-5's, and so on. It didn't last long.

For those who don't know, the circadian rhythm watchbill isn't some random turd from the good-idea fairy. A very smart professor at NPS studied the old schedules and visited ships to test/observe the new method. She's been doing sleep/alertness/performance studies for a long time.

We've also done it in the sub force for the last 3 years. It's 1000x better than the 6 hour watch rotation.

It's really simple - the watch sections don't have to change to orbit around the day-walkers to be successful.

Is her callsign "Charlie"? Could this become a plot thread in TOP GUN II? The screenplay almost writes itself... :)

Did nobody tell them it was a warship made of aluminum, built with safety factors low enough to make an aeronautical engineer blush?
Uhh . . . she's a DDG, not a Little Crappy Ship. Burkes are all-steel.
