Having read some great articles on the spate of pacific fleet collisions contemporaneous with the McCain incident, this is when I stopped reading this pointless article.
And I came to that comment page to say: "I really want to memorize all that hilarious design problems" - like eg. physical steering wheel not working and then suddenly turns itself into a exactly wrong direction... You know for https://xkcd.com/742/ purposes.
But then I read few comments on navy systemic sleep depravation...
And how air force solved this 60-70 years ago.
And how some peoples says UX problem is not a problem becouse sleep is a problem (and there are contemposomething evidences of other problems) and obviously two or more of them can't compound simultaneously ! /s
Just want to add: if there is so basic problem with working conditions then there obviously are much more human (and not only) problems in that navy force. Seems quite identical to what Russia is demonstrating in last years and in case of conflict results will be identical - a lot of lost american lives for stupid reasons. Just pointing obviousness.
