Even more dangerous when for some reason your radar guys have their heads up their asses. I have this idea that for at least 50 years the US military has had radar good enough that nothing as large as a ship could sneak up on them. Am i wrong?
Tragic. Of all the branches of the armed forces, the Navy seems to attract young people who aren't necessarily interested in kicking ass and killing people, but instead draws from a wide demographic of folks looking for valuable skills, career opportunities, and a chance to leave their dead end small towns or inner cities and see the world. RIP.
>>>radar good enough that nothing as large as a ship could sneak up on them
Yeah. Pretty odd situation and sure some heads will roll, but even with all the latest and greatest technology, the sea remains a dangerous place.

This is a pretty inspiring read, Gary Rehm apparently saved many sailors and dies trying to save the rest.
