Aegis ship uss gettysburg shoots down one of uss harry trumans f-18s.

At least the missiles and parachutes work... both crew in good health.

It is as I said btw. You no longer have a fishing fleet or merchant navy to support a living maritime tradition. The solution was to beauracratise seamanship. Port is now left, starboard is now right, procedures for everything. That works, sort of, most of the time. Except when it does not.

White Anglo-Saxon male still dominate the navy. It is full of little sammys. Own it.

The USN could sink the entire Black Sea Fleet tomorrow if we so desired. Cool it with the jingoism jergul.

Russia could also sink the entire USN tomorrow if it so desired. Cool it with the jingoism Ruggy.

Not a false equivalency btw. Both events = nuclear war.

Incidentally, why did you think what I said was jingoism?

"Russia could also sink the entire USN tomorrow if it so desired."

Nope. Not remotely possible.

"Incidentally, why did you think what I said was jingoism?:

Do I really need to explain this? You're a Russian xenopatriot who saw a story about the USN commiting a mistake and you gleefully proceeded to post about how much the Navy sucks.

As if "your" navy is any better (how's it performing against Ukraine again?)

True. About a third of USN submarines would survive the initial anti-shipping nulcear strikes. Please excuse my hyperbole.

You are conflating anti-hubris and a distaste for rank hypocracy with pro-russian sentiments.

I immediately moved to dispell Sammy's "see, woke sucks" when the actual problem is something very different. The US navy is still dominated by little sammys. They just dont know boats too well anymore as you lost your maritime tradition. So you have a navy run on procedures instead.

It works, sort of, most of the time. Except when it does not. Like I said.

I didn't realize that this incident could have been prevented if only the crew of the Gettysburg had come from families of fishermen.

One could almost be forgiven for wondering how having sea legs helps in determining whether or not to shoot SAM missiles at a friendly F/A-18.

It probably would have. Seamen and fishermen are inherently prudent/cautious/risk adverse. Measure twice, cut once principles. A missile launch because certain procedural boxes had been ticked would still be subject to the better judgement of the people involved.
