The sailor accused of starting a fire that essentially destroyed the USS Bonhomme Richard, a 41-ton amphibious assault vessel, was found not guilty Friday of starting the blaze that burned for days.

U.S. Navy Capt. Derek Butler found deck seaman Ryan Sawyer Mays, 21, not guilty of aggravated arson and the willful hazarding of a vessel.

The Navy's Naval Criminal Investigative Service focused its probe on Mays, but a command investigation in 2021 also said 17 sailors and five admirals failed responsibilities that contributed to the blaze on July 12, 2020. Most were disciplined.

The ship was home to hazardous materials improperly stored, clutter and fire lines that were missing, the investigation found. Nearly 90% of its fire stations weren't working the morning of the fire, the agency said. Sailors weren't properly trained and ready for the calamity, it said.

The presence of contemporary tinder — lithium ion batteries near cardboard boxes — may have contributed to the fire's intensity and reach, investigators found. The total destruction was preventable, the command investigation concluded.

They just needed a scapegoat that was E-6 and below. Same thing happened with the USS Iowa #2 turret explosion. That accident was a combination of poor training and incompetence in re-manufacturing the powder bags being used. All of that put higher ranking officers at fault and the Navy couldn't have that...

That's a cascade effect, but the results are true.

In flying, blame is like a game of hot potato; who ever touched it last is "it".

In the Reason Model of accident safety, the last two disks are the copilot and the pilot, in that order. Ergo, it's almost always the pilot's fault, even though a lot of shit had to go wrong before it came down to the sucker.

In the case of the Bonhomme Richard, the chain of command from the Petty Officer in Charge and up tried the same tactic of blaming "It". The Navy rightfully held all those involved accountable. Go Navy!

The Swiss Cheese model of accident causation, originally proposed by James Reason, likens human system defences to a series of slices of randomly-holed Swiss Cheese arranged vertically and parallel to each other with gaps in-between each slice.

More evidence you hate authority and disrespect it enough to see it overthrown.

I expect authority to do the right thing and be responsible, not scapegoat some underling for their own failures.

Agreed. Which also explains why I'm not a Trumpian cocksucker spreading hate and lies against all those patriots serving our nation.

What to you think about someone spreads hate against the US while tacitly or actively supporting Putin?
