Oh, he'd chalk it up to the Pressures of War and be all profound about the niggling accomplishments of the "leadership" of this vessel after the War. Ignore the sacrifice and contributions of the enlisted ranks like the rest of the "journalistic" field does.

The Greatest Generation is after all a human one. Therefore mistakes are to be expected and part of life.
