Had a high school friend who graduated from the Coast Guard academy around 1977. He was at the helm of a large Coast Guard ship in NY harbor (obviously under supervision of a senior officer) when his ship collided with a another ship (I think it was a Navy vessel). The damage was major. He was compelled to testify and his testimony confirmed that the responsibility for the collision rested with his commanding officer. He was blackballed as a result and left the service soon thereafter. Someone will pay dearly for this collision.
