This isn't good...many cuases, from questions as to how much strain a "common sailor" can take, given the current education system that "protects the younglings" from anything more harsh that a loud voice, to poor material exiting colleges that do not teach anything remotely related to real leadership, to a dysfunctional political system and 8 years of a structure that haed the very idea of the miltary. All adds up to a real mess on ships and the 7th fleet. Firing is not the answer, unless you have a good way to determine the replacements are any better. How much patronage and politics have played in senior officers and enlisted may also be part of it. Given the last 2 ship crashes have yet to have a decent explanation, this is not a good scenario.We had it a lot rougher than they do today, with internet access and real time communications and connections.
