Episode 4: 7th Fleet Disasters
from No One Is Competent Hosted by No One Is Competent Podcast
Based in Yokosuka, Japan, the United States Navy's 7th Fleet is responsible for patrolling some of the most economically and strategically important sea lanes in the world, making it one of the most important elements in the entire US Armed Forces. One can thus imagine the shock when over the course of about three months in 2017 not one but two 7th Fleet destroyers were involved in two separate collisions with commercial vessels, resulting in 17 deaths. On this episode of “No One is Competent” we’ll be discussing both the events behind these disastrous mishaps and the conditions that lead to them being possible.
