Reading about this situation is so infuriating, especially when you read into what exactly this commander has done to put people at risk. The whole situation is so absurd that if someone wrote it in a book they’d be laughed at for being too unrealistic. And yet here we are, fated to laugh at this absurdity as a coping mechanism.

“The Navy and the federal judiciary are therefore in a standoff. The Navy will not deploy Doe’s warship until he is stripped of command. Merryday will not allow it to do so. As a result, Merryday has effectively taken a 10,000 ton, $1.8 billion guided-missile destroyer out of commission. As the Navy builds up its naval presence in Europe to guard against further Russian aggression, it is down a ship—solely because an unelected judge in Tampa has inserted himself into the chain of command.”
