Someone is in BIG trouble......

My father was in WWII. He was a submarine torpedoman first in Australia and later in the Phillipines. He told me the story about watching a surface ship trying to dock and instead, hitting the dock. He said to the guy next to him that the captain of that ship is in BIG trouble. The guy next to him was a long-time Navy guy from before the war. He said that the captain would not be the one in trouble. Someone lower down either missed the order, scrambled the order, or did something else wrong. They were the ones, probably clear down in the engine room, that would be in trouble. My dad said he later found out that the old-guy was right.
