“Sailors feel strongly about their distrust of senior leadership, and believe the Navy has a significant risk-averse culture and zero-defect mentality,” the report says.
“Officers in particular hold an incredibly negative view of the current state of affairs,
with vast majorities decrying the
overwhelming perception of a risk averse and zero-defect mentality culture.”
Navy sailors harbor “widespread mistrust” in the admirals who command them, complaining of poor leadership and a disciplinary environment that tolerates absolutely no mistakes, says a survey of the fleet. The disgruntlement runs deepest in the officer corps, where scores of commanders have been relieved of duty in recent years.
I have read this a few times ... still not sure what it states. My only comment, that carrier seems like it should be "listing to starboard." What is on the port side to compensate and balance all the weight on the other side, the bridge, etc. If anyone can offer me a simpler interpretation of the above, feel free to do so.
