The Navy's Flawed Bridge Technology Set the USS McCain Up For Disaster
schwit1 writes: [ProPublica] outlines in detail the causes behind the crash in 2017 of the USS McCain and an oil-tanker that killed ten sailors and injured many others. It is a horror story of a bankrupt Navy upper management that seemed more in love with cool computer software and automation than making sure the Navy's ships and its crews can function efficiently and effectively in any situation. Moreover, the story suggests that this same upper management made lower level officers the scapegoats for its bad decisions, while skating free with no consequences. And worst of all, that same overly complex computer navigation system remains in place, with only superficial patches imposed in both its software and its user instructions. This story however is hardly unique. It reflects the general and systemic failures of almost any project coming out of the upper managements of the entire federal government for the past three decades, a pattern of failure that partly explains why Donald Trump was elected, and why he is hated so thoroughly by so many in that federal workforce. He more than anyone in decades has been demanding from them quality work, and firing them when they fail to provide it.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
