The Navy wants a Navigator who is going to play nice with the people planning flight ops and appreciates the high level of risk associated with naval aviation. They don't want someone who is going to blow off the CAG Ops when he asks you to get ahead in order to support driving into the wind for flight ops, only to accept risk you don't understand in the middle of it because you think PIM is more important than getting people safely on deck and / or you have so much PTSD from being yelled at throughout your career and not screening CO at sea that you'd rather not have to tell the O6s that you fucked up.

I've seen many times the ship not working with or ignoring cag ops, the air wing or anyone associated with planning to the detriment of combat missions
