Focus on Warfighting

Lieutenant Travis F. Bean, U.S.

Fleet Forces Command’s Comprehensive Review of Recent Surface Force Incidents , written in response to the Seventh Fleet mishaps, outlines root causes and corrective actions to prevent future accidents. One theme of the report is that there was a marked lack of training for bridge watch standers on shiphandling and navigation fundamentals. It is tempting for officers outside of Seventh Fleet or the surface warfare community to view the issues in the report as local problems, but many of the issues identified exist Navy-wide, including in the submarine community.
