Warrior at peace faces private war
The Navy, a harsh master, faces a court martial for Cmdr. Albert S. McLemore and Lt. Ronald Ramsey after the destroyer USS Frank E. Evans was cut in two in a collision with the Australian carrier Melbourne. Sixty four sailors were lost. The officers are charged with negligence and may face two years hard labor and dishonorable discharge. The piece notes the captain bears ultimate responsibility, and civilians see the Navy as harsh while sailors view it as a brotherhood at sea.
