Reprimand for Young over smooth log on Bennington
Secretary Bonaparte protests findings of the Wade court case not yet closed. Evidence shows steam gauges on boilers of worship not in working order. Commander Lucien Young faces reprimand for not signing a smooth log of steam pressures and engine facts after the Bennington boiler explosion that killed crew members. The court found remissness of duty, while finding him not guilty of heavier charges. Secretaries’ options to mitigate are discussed. Wade Case remains unresolved.
