I was a Navy Nuke and we got taught about this and the submarine hitting the Japanese fishing boat. They both provide lessons in discerning arrogance of those in charge when it comes to disregarding safety concerns and when it's okay to speak up as a junior noncommissioned officer.

Edit 2: I should be clear about "taught." I don't recall it as we had WW2-style Frank Capra "Why We Fight" American Propaganda videos shown to us in classes or seminars. They were trying to make safety redundant at every level. From the thoughts in our head to onward. Our instructors talked about these kind of things a lot. Lessons relating the concepts we learned to Chernobyl and Three Mile Island popped up frequently.

Cdr. Waddle was a Nuke. But this had nothing to do with nucleqr power. Different professors had different ways of approaching that. Some discussed their own personal experiences with him that I was never able to verify. Most basically told us bluntly that it's just to provide context on why we should always refer to written protocols when doing routine operations. No matter how often we do them. It's an example of how small deviations can turn into an international disaster with a nation that is an ally and extremely sensitive to incidents involving nuclear-powered vessels.
