SAILORS,
REST YOUR OARS
UPDATE
ON THE USS SAN FRANCISCO
Well,
by now we have all heard that the Skipper of the San Francisco, Cmdr
Kevin Mooney, was relieved as Commanding Officer following an Admirals
Mast and was reassigned to the Trident Training Facility in Bangor, Wa.
The Exec and the Navigator received permanent Letters of Censure. The
Asst Navigator, an ETCS (SS) received a similar letter and was stripped
of his Navy Submarine Enlisted Qualification, which ousts him from the
Submarine Force.
The other members of the San Francisco's Navigation team, all ET's,
were each demoted one rank.
My personal feeling is that the crew of the San Francisco should be
awarded a medal for bringing that boat up from 500 or so feet after it
hit that Sea Mount and saving the rest of the crew. Sadly, Joseph
Ashley MM2 (SS) unfortunately suffered severe head injuries and was the
only crew member to pass away.
