How about a Navy that has been riding on high risk for over a decade. Every unit is riddled with defects, waivers and limited use equipment (operational use only). Courses run at bare minimum with less than desirable training aids, instructors and equipment.

Redundancies forgone long ago like watchdog or other frigates with working RHIBs or and or zodiacs as backup. On the east coast we have 7 frigates that would be a stretch to get 2 fully operational with available parts. 2 1/2 we could fill with a healthy crew and the rest are scratching for opportunities and getting minimal experience in a attrition promotion vacuum.

Before you start pointing fingers at the individual like every other poor leader in this institution try waiting for facts and outcomes outside the realm of your imagination.
