Female officer kills 7 sailors, guess what her punishment is

"Lt. j.g. Sarah Coppock received a punitive letter and will forfeit half a month’s pay for three months as part of her sentence"

Female leadership.

Where the fuck are you going to lead me to? Besides death, disgrace, or destruction?

Coppock was serving as officer of the deck, or OOD, at the time of the collision, and was accused of failing to follow the commanding officer’s standing orders, as well as international navigation rules.

Bitch was probably on Facebook.

So she was OOD of the USS Fitzgerald. Had a collision at sea. Actually got court-martialed for it? As a JG got court-martialed? And convicted? Holy shit. That's unusual even for a man. WTH happened?

[Reads Account]

Failed to maneuver to avoid collision in a timely manner.
Failed to contact a collision threat and negotiate passage.
Failed to follow CO's standing orders for contact reporting.
Failed to sound the collision alarm when collision was inevitable.

Holy Shit!

The ship’s captain, Cmdr. Bryce Benson, was asleep, and the Crystal’s bow punched into his quarters. He was injured and rescued by crew members as he clung to the side of the ship.

Well that explains why she got court-martialed.

Oh and whatever else they found they aren't telling us.

Yeah she got off easy. She by rights should have had, at least a month of confinement, and an admin discharge along with the forfeiture.

Who in the hell put a woman in charge of navigation???????

I’m not saying it makes it right, but anybody who thinks the punitive letter is a slap on the wrist is misinformed. It’s a career ender. She’ll never have a command, never be promoted, and after failing to promote for 2 or 3 promotion cycles, will be administratively separated from the service.

Again, this doesn’t make it right. I’m not saying she was justly punished. All I’m saying is that a punitive letter of reprimand is not the same thing as a note from your third grade teacher that you didn’t bring your pencil box to class.

Slightly more info here:

Meanwhile, she said the “low confidence” she had in some of her fellow watch standers played into her decision not to be in closer communication with sailors in the Combat Information Center. Below deck, they are supposed to gather and communicate radar and other information to the bridge.

She acknowledged losing situational awareness and not sounding the alarm to alert the crew ahead of the collision. Coppock said she was focused on something else and the rest of her crew froze.

Prosecutors laid blame at Coppock’s feet, saying she “chose to be blind,” never sought help from the information center, did not respond properly when she saw the Crystal on the radar 12 nautical miles from the ship and lost situational awareness. She failed to sound blasts alerting the Crystal or attempt to contact it, nor did she alert the commanding officer, Lt. Cmdr. Paul Hochmuth said.

When it became clear that impact was inevitable, she “failed to give the crew notice, a chance to get out of their racks, a chance to brace themselves.”

One of the two officers that Coppock was working closely with that night told investigators she had never heard of the voluntary traffic separation scheme governing heavily trafficked shipping lanes, he said.

Shit.

The tactical information officer is accused of failing in her job to “communicate with the bridge vital contact information and safe speed and maneuvering recommendations, enforce watch-standing principles in the combat information center and support the officer of the deck.”

Is that a tattoo on her wrist?

RK21001 · 2018-05-09T15:47:30+00:00

Without reading the info, my guess is 2 years probation?

Women & spatial awareness aren't great bedfellows it would seem. Add the mix a hulking 9000t displacement & you'd have to know you're asking for trouble.

When does she announce her run for the White House?

2018-05-10T01:16:59+00:00

That bitch should have been executed.

2018-05-10T02:13:14+00:00

She should be drowned

Saw this scrolling past r/military. Didn't know it was a woman.

Couldn't believe my eyes at first.

"This is a lighthouse. Your move"

"You fucking sexist pigs! Reeeeeeeeeeee.."

She is culpable, but the Captain is the final authority and the one ultimately responsible for the tragedy. He ordered her to the watch.
