Inquiry finds safety flaws on sub during Pearl Harbor collision
A Navy court of inquiry into the February 9 collision of the Greeneville with the Ehime Maru found widespread deficiencies aboard the submarine. Trainees operated sonar, watch stations were unmanned, and rushed surface procedures may have contributed to the fatal event. Commander Waddle faced possible punishment as witnesses described lax discipline and unsafe practices aboard the Greeneville during a civilian-guest cruise.
