As a former sailor who has seen this happen, he'd be "popped tall" in front of the C.O.'s "at sea" quarters/office waiting for his ass chewing. Then, he'd go to see the CMC (Command Master Chief), then his Department Officer, then his Departmental Master Chief, then his shop Chief and LPO, and if there's any ass left to chew on, he may go see the Battle Group Commander, usually a 1 or 2 Star Admiral. And then he'd be standing endless hours of watch, possibly the dreaded "fashion show," and probably something creative like writing a 5k word essay on the history of the US Flag, what it represents, and what the US Flag Code is for, only to have it crumpled and torn up in his fave without ever being read by anybody.
Oh man, I can't imagine how hard they'd come down on his ass for that!

That goes beyond disciplinary/corrective action and reveals the thin end of the sadistic streak which runs through such organisations.
Such a waste of time and resources.
In the old days he’d be flogged over the yardarm, bread and water for a week, and swabbing the deck. None of this administration bs.
Hot damn!
