Lance Dean is on my friends list, Facebook , as is Kevin Mooney and some of the crew. We exchange niceties often just to keep in touch. Billy Cramer and I root for all the Ohio sports teams. Somewhere I have the unofficial report( no blackouts) on the "Grounding" investigation.

I stumbled across an alternative explanation of the incident. I DO NOT vouch for the validity of this point of view. This for your amusement and entertainment ONLY.

Mike, all of the above is navy BS in trying to mitigate the fact that this boat crashed into a mountain in which personel died, many were injured and the boat was in danger of sinking if not for the bravery of it's crew. Period; case closed. |

OK Enough of this argument of what the accident was called. The Navy calls it a grounding, so it was a grounding.

Good question. In a "normal" grounding there isn't a death and the majority of the crew are not injured. Pretty obvious that this was a whole different event. Be interesting to see how the Navy classified it. He certainly wasn't appreciative of learning about a serious submarine event that he somehow had missed. Maybe he just likes to be "right?" |

Why so touchy! Just a matter of opinions, regardless of what navy official designates it.
