All of you guys that served or even those who did not have to remember this is the "NEW" Navy where a CO can get relieved if their uniform isn't pressed right. Back in the 60s and 70s it was way different! When I was on the USS Bainbridge, CGN25, we only had about 80% or the nuclear engineers we were supposed to gave so all the engineering chiefs wrote a letter to the CNO and CINCPACFLT explaining the reactor safety issue and out CO signed it!

So what happened.....the number of engineers was lowered so much it looked like we were OVER MANNED! Bo one got relieved and in8 months or so we got more people. Could not ever do that today!
