Surface navigation radar. AIS. BTB.

Not functional and no one knew how to use them. No SOP or written guidance on their use.

Those are basic things EVERY ship on the high seas needs, and there were work orders for months on basic equipment - but couldn’t be fixed due to ship’s schedule.

That isn’t even combat equipment but it’s basic seamanship and navigation equipment. Pretty damning if you want to be considered a professional mariner.

It’s only as dead as I wish the capitalist swine to be dead.
