Just to correct, The Con wouldn't order "all back flank;" two collisions is a lot, but not tantamount to "incompetence being displayed by our navy," the military is not the same as the civilian "government," and never will be; and this has nothing to do with the President.  You are correct, however, that the CO will undoubtedly be relived, which only shows that the military is nothing like civilian government, if for no other reason than they take accountability for their actions and actually get fired for their failures, unlike civilian government employees.
