you command one of the most destructive forces ever devised by man, if you’re dumb enough to make the mistake of accepting a lethal weapon without inspecting it, it can be assumed you do that with all things. this is just not embarrassing, it goes to show what this man is able to miss, and naval command doesn’t want someone like that at the helm of one of their destroyers. it’s an easy call.
You think they shoot rifles off that thing? Not even a little bit.
He’s not in a role that would ever wield a rifle in a realistic scenario. It’s not part of the Navys standard training for sailors or officers either. If you ever have to fire a gun in the Navy, you’re already deeply fucked. You tend to shoot things with lot more range off a ship, and most aren’t something you can sling over your shoulder.
It’s no different than a marine commander standing at the helm backwards or a high ranking army officer having a life jacket on backwards. Its a simple error borne from inexperience, not incompetence.
