The McCain and Fitz cases

USS John S. McCain
USS Fitzgerald
Military Times's Geoff Ziezulewicz and Mark D. Faram have this report on the challenges and potential implications of the preferral of charges against the COs of USS John S. McCain (DDG-56) and USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62). Excerpt:
[The Naval War College's Captain Michael] Junge criticized the Navy’s opacity regarding the Fitz and McCain investigations regarding who received non-judicial punishment, and why. He also said he wished the service would release the full investigations into the collisions, instead of the piecemeal information that has come to public light thus far.

“I really wish the Navy had released the real report,” Junge said. “Right now it looks like there must be something else that’s not been released to make these charges stick.”
