David Larter of Navy Times has written further on the "vessel exception" to the right to refuse mast. It is unfortunate that the Navy has not responded to criticism (from your editor and others) over its unwarranted broad reading of the provision. Perhaps the USS James E. Williams cases will wind up in court and some federal judge will have occasion to drill down.
Thank you again! They don't even talk to my husband in the CNSL building about anything that shows up in the press.
