? Research Wanted ?
Why arrest them for an accident caused by the wind?

The female cpt claimed she was not at fault! There may have been a pilot but the CAPT of a ship is responsible for everything that happens or doesn't happen, and goes down with the ship!
Actually, the Captain IS responsible.
Akshually that’s literally what ArmyLady says...
Is that because she basically hired and vetted them? I read that she was not on the ship but it makes sense if she gave them the okay to sail without her. I do think it's a little absurd though. This is like when a company hires someone who ends up doing something crazy. The CEO should not be at fault of that unless they hand picked that person.
The captain is always always responsible. This is tradition in both commercial seafaring and military.
A typical tour for a CO is only 18 months. The reason is because the job is fucking brutal and stressful. They rarely get more than a few hours of undisturbed sleep a night because so many things require CO sign off. Switching charts for example. They are responsible for the actions of even the most junior idiots, and are constantly one fuck up away from ending decades of a career.
Civilian side is probably easier, but the captain is still the last word.
Interesting. Thanks for the information.
^^^^ this
Who the hell goofs off and goes off for a nap when something as critical as a suez or panama canal transit is in progress? Its the single most important time for being alert and at peak performance with the most experienced of officers at the helm.
Not buying this feeble BS for a second.
Its law that the captain be present on the bridge during passage of the Suez Canal.
Sauce on the 'female captain' please? I have not seen a story identifying the captain. Thanks, Fren.
I read an msm article stating that the woman identified was actually NOT the captain. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/egypt-e2-80-99s-first-female-ship-captain-falsely-accused-by-online-trolls-of-blocking-suez-canal/ar-BB1fjPwz
Of course, that doesn't mean the real captain isn't a woman. Or a man who wants to be a woman.
I've seen it a couple times, did not save the links.
