You have to wonder if the loose tongue happened on purpose in order for this outcome to happen. Richardson just gave congress a big F-U.

When a Navy ship runs aground or over something someone is losing their career. It is a big freekin ocean and shit happens, but bottom line someone has to pay.

I don't know all the details but I think it would have been difficult in any event to make a case of criminal negligence against the captain who was asleep in his cabin at the time of the accident. I was, however, fully expecting him to be adminstratively forced out of the Navy (which may still happen). The officer of the deck, on the other hand, probably should have stood trial.
The OOD pled guilty last May.
