USS Nebraska tragedy

I think the cause has already been floating around the rumor mill for a day or so, but the Navy Times has verified that the injury resulting in the tragic death of a Machinist Mate Third Class on Saturday was caused when he become entangled and pinned in the rudder ram while cleaning.

Here is a link to the Navy Times article.

Again, my prayers are with the sailor's family, friends, and shipmates.

Death by field day. They should hang the XO from the rotating radar mast.
