During the anger Haunts Submariners Greeneville after accident
The group played “Larguez lines.” Clutched balloons and children had signs of what it means “hello, Daddy.” One woman in a costume dolphin swam by the quantity.The submarine nuclear-powered Tucson was pulling into Pearl Harbor the other day, after six months at sea, and it was time to celebrate. A giant bill was draped their sails. Women of morality and animal welfare committee phone cards and distributed coupons. No Hula dancers were resolved, Tucson did not want distractions wives of 140 men in white in summer after another of the intestine of the submarine and fell directly into the arms of family and friends.
The joyful ritual said much about the closeness of Pearl Harbor east-U-boat crews and their families, their determination and return to normality after the sinking of a Japanese trawler of the Greeneville, the sister of Tucson U-Boot.
And there is nothing to indicate that, in accordance with outside of the station Pearl Harbor Naval is in mourning, no black banner of solidarity with the Greeneville Crew. Indeed, members of the SUB has brought his team Greeneville T-shirts recently for a routine People: 20 minutes calisthenics followed by 20 minutes of jogging.
But for the Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet, the trauma of the accident takes place in depth, and many there fear that the damage is permanent. The incident vernarbter reputation of a working animal stolzeste “submarines in the fleet. It is without doubt destroy the career of Navy Cmdr. Scott D. Waddle, the skipper of the Greeneville, was relieved of his command . And it could fall into chaos on the term of its officers and crew members
Since the accident, the navy of the town in Honolulu has been shaken by the loss of life, dismayed that such an accident could happen, anger and international attention the incident in question.
And in a world governed by silence, stealth and absolute confidence, the specter of a public inquiry unleashed a persistent suspicion and point the finger, that the atmosphere polluted by ordering a loyalty to an adversarial attitude of every man for himself.
“We have our own culture,” said Cmdr. Dennis J. Murphy, the master of Tucson. “There is a long list of heroes in the submarine force, and if you want to join, you ensure that legacies. The ship has functioned well. They had good morals and good retention. He enjoyed a good reputation and image come and go on ships. This is disastrous for everyone. ”
It was evident two weeks before the return of Tucson’s, another set of families have suffered a very different for the return Greeneville. What was ostensibly for a day of show-and-say 16 civilians spiraled into a nightmare, that the submarine hochgeschossen in the body of the Ehime Maru, transition and leaving nine Japanese students and crew members died .
There were no bands or balloons, if the Greeneville returned. Instead, Rear Adm. Albert H. Konetzni, commander of the Pacific submarine fleet, Kaplan has been accompanied by a crew on the console before entering a port.
“All were tired, very, very tired, and very dark,” said one naval officer, was there. “The admiral said:” You are a great boat, Greeneville, you’re good human beings. Obviously, something is wrong. We’ll take care of herself. They are all good people. Stay for maintenance. ”
Since the accident, which was Greeneville gestrippt of its torpedoes and set drydock because of the closure of a starting point for repairs to the gashes on its side, the introduction of its meeting in June for an indefinite period postponed. Commander Waddle and two other officials were seen as “parties” under investigation by the Navy the highest administrative court, which meets next Monday.
