You guys should see Sailor Bob, they're going CRAZY over there about this situation. Seems like Captain Graf has been this way for a while, including when she was the CO of the WINSTON CHURCHILL. Much of the discussion tying into gender but, I won't get into that.
My classmate from NROTC is currently onboard the COWPENS and for months he has been telling me how his Captain (now former) was being investigated numerous times by the IG for "conduct" related reasons. Everyone was afraid of her, because they feared of being cussed, sworn at, chewed out, you name it, even fired just for turning in a simple report to her to sign. Classmate has told me that new CO is a complete improvement and is looking forward to a much unified wardroom in the coming weeks and months.
EA6B, as mentioned earlier, the CO of the ARLEIGH BURKE was the first to get relieved. Talking first hand to one of the chiefs (now a LDO on board my ship), poor leadership led to the aground incident and actions taken afterward. Since the event has happened quite a ways ago, nothing more I have to say about this.
On a related note, while I did mention the CHURCHILL, does anyone want to take a guess as to who the Navigator is onboard? And by who, I mean which nationality? I'll give + rep for the right answer.
