Perspective of the Day

CDR Brian Fort, Commanding Officer of USS Gonzalez (DDG 66) weighs in on his blog regarding the accident on the USS San Antonio (LPD 17) and the grounding incident involving the USS Port Royal (CG 72). Why is this a good read?

The Commanding Officer of SAN ANTONIO is a very good shipmate of mine, and I am a former Executive Officer of PORT ROYAL.

Because it's personal. His advice is spot on.

Also check out the GONZALEZ Year in Review - 2008. As far as I know, CDR Fort is running one of the very few CO blogs in the US Navy today, and has been updating it regularly throughout the year.

It is a blog worth keeping an eye on.
