Compared to the ships I had to crew when I was in during Vietnam this thing looks like you're staying at the Ritz-Carlton hotel. GO NAVY! I am glad for the crew that they have such great facilities because when things get a little dicey at sea this will be one hell of a morale booster.

Hey man I've got a question, what happens if one of the sailors fall off the edge of a big ass ship like an aircraft carrier? I just wonder because those things are so big I'd be worried that nobody would see me fall into the water. Does that type of stuff happen every once in a while or is it pretty rare or what?

[@thesisko4031]

@@mjames7674 their are docs about it, they wear glow sticks at night and they generally always have look outs. If someone seen in water they send out a copper.

[@Grimmwoldds]

@@mjames7674 Other than jumpers, people usually don't fall overboard. There is an aft lookout(or on ships with the flight deck aft, flight deck personnel during flight ops) to watch for oscars. However, if you fall overboard there is a very good chance you will never be recovered unless they drop a boat very quickly to pick you up. Big ocean, and your life expectancy is about 10-30 minutes depending on water temperature.

[@BillSmith-ut5li]

If the Zumwalt is no longer commissioned then it's due to bad seamanship poor captaining Andover dependency on technology. I believe with the right crew and a true naval officer who was put in charge do the skill are not politics this ship would function fine. But this is a peacetime Navy and what I've seen of other new Ships coming online and the reviews I've seen it's definitely politics over skill. I've seen new high speed boats with three and four officers. On bored when it should have been a single Junior grade or chief and skilled Petty officers. I was in the Navy during Vietnam and have seen these politically appointed officers they were weeded out pretty quick or crippled or dead pretty quick due to their incompetency although some did seem to get through. But they usually got a metal real quick due to their political or money connections and got out and went to Hollywood to sleep with celebrities and protest the war leaving others to take their place and bleed for them.
