Lessons Never Learned - Accountability Never Achieved
shocked we're no longer shocked
It is amazing what you can find just out there in the open for all to see.
In case you missed last week's Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress, you should take some time to read it.
If you're running short on time, just check out Appendix D.
Read the very last bit. The fact that in 2022 this needs to be said ... but it does.
Scathing indictment. Just scathing.

The leadership learning problem is the single most important issue to fix. The Navy will be reluctant to fix it. To do so USNA needs a gutting and a heavy handed lessons learned organization is needed. As for you Sal, all to often you state “need to learn” this is counterproductive because it implies we can learn. Focus on USNA (cradle of leadership), an axe wielding lessons learned organization and while you are at it the new “plastics” - semisubmersibles. Turn Two sailor.
Our esteemed host is shocked I say shocked, that these "lessons learned" appear as they do and I agree. But the money shot is in the "circumstances that lead program-execution efforts away from these guidelines." What circumstances account for recurring program issues followed by the ceremonial reading of these same lessons learned? CRS would provide a service to Navy and the Nation by analyzing and reporting the details of these circumstances, unless Navy developed a sudden interest first.
