What's your response to Bryan McGrath's piece at WarOnTheRocks https://warontherocks.com/2019/02/the-fitzgerald-collision-in-search-of-the-onus/

Do you feel like you maybe mis-characterized or undervalued the onus of responsibility for the accidents, and that the crews of the ships were (ultimately) the most responsible?

I absolutely agree. You provided a very complete picture. But I think a fair assessment of your two articles is a spotlight on senior navy brass. I’m glad you highlight the seeming unwillingness for the top levels of leadership to accept their role in the multi-decade decline of the fleet. But I think your articles definitely leave the reader with a sense of who the authors feel is most to blame.

That was my tale at least.
