A commander's responsibility remains absolute, and that commander must, and will, be
held accountable for the safety, well-being, and efficiency of his command. This
accountability may be exacted in various ways. In some cases, commanders may be called
to account in a court of law . . . in all cases, they will be judged by their professional peers -
those who have been subjected to, and exalted by, the same stringent requirements of
command. Our country, and every Navy man and woman serving at sea or ashore, has the
absolute right to expect that our commanding officers will be the finest, and the most
responsible, we can provide. I intend to make it so.
Admiral James D. Watkins, U.S. Navy
