Nachdem es bei der US-Pazifikflotte im Laufe des Jahres einige mehr oder minder peinliche und auch tödliche Kollisionen zwischen Kriegschiffen und zivilen Fahrzeugen gegeben hatte - zuletzt hatte es an Bord des Zerstörers John S. McCain zehn Todesopfer gegeben, als dieser im August vor Singapur mit einem Tanker zusammengestoßen war -, erfolgte nun eine Personalrochade bei der 7. Flotte, auch weil Berichte den Rückschluss erlaubt hatten, dass Ausbildungsmängel und mangelndes Stressmanagement mit die/eine Ursache seien.

WASHINGTON
U.S. Navy leaders are recommending a sweeping list of changes in sailor training, crew requirements and safety procedures to address systemic problems across the Pacific fleet that led to two deadly ship collisions earlier this year that killed 17 sailors, according to a copy of the report obtained by The Associated Press.
A critical report scheduled to be released Thursday calls for about 60 recommended improvements that range from improved training on seamanship, navigation and the use of ship equipment to more basic changes to increase sleep and stress management for sailors.
Another Navy report released Wednesday concluded that three collisions and a ship grounding this year were all avoidable, and resulted from widespread failures by the crews and commanders who didn't quickly recognize and respond to unfolding emergencies. Navy leaders publicly acknowledged those failings in a congressional hearing last month. [...]
As a result of the two deadly accidents, eight top Navy officers, including the 7th Fleet commander, were fired from their jobs, and a number of other sailors received reprimands or other punishment that was not publicly released.
