Re: CLUELESS - 17 Died in 2017 b/c no Nav Training
I was onboard the USS Ranger for CQs back in the 70s. After 3 days of operations the carrier was heading back in and tried to race a liberian tanker. when the captain cut in front of the tanker we collided. There were no injuries on either ship, but there was a 400 foot long dent in the side of the carrier. When we returned to port the captain was relieved of duty and escorted off the ship. In command of an aircraft carrier was a 34 year old captain. Big FN Dent
