    Dont know anything about zigzaging. I do know when political expediency finds a scapegoat. Indicting and finding this Captain guilty was a politically calculated to exonarate those that placed the ship in vunerable waters without escort and without the new radar technology. In my opinion, Captain McVay should have been promoted and later publicly thanked for his heroism, as well as the men who survived the ordeal.

    Usual pronunciation is MAC VEE SOG as if three words, not letters. Or just SOG. The Army part was mostly Special Forces. And for a while the camps were FOBs. FOB 1, FOB 2, FOB 3, and FOB 4. Later renamed as CCN for Command and Control North. CCC and CCS for central and south. Within the units, MACVSOG or SOG were seldom referenced by name. It was the parent, and oversaw the various branch elements.

    Sorry. He didn't zigzag with no escort and had to get home in time for training? You may lay blame at the feet of the admiral that denied escort. You may lay blame at the feet of the person who SHOULD have reported them overdue. That does Not alleviate the failure for zigzagging even though it was policy to do this because Much later, people claimed it "wasn't effective"... with no evidence and regardless of the fact that they were quite convinced that it was thought the war. Unsubstantiated claim that "zigzagging was not effective" is nonsense without serious proof. You can't just put that out there with nothing to give it weight. The Japanese sub commander claimed he would have hit him anyway. But it absolutely made it much easier. Not an excuse to forgive an egregiously careless decision that would have resulted in a big chunk of his crew being lost even if others didn't mess up. Its like putting an infant in the front seat of a car without a seat belt and claiming later... the infant would probably have died anyway... and the seat belt company had recalls in the past. If it was bad that other commanders weren't held accountable, address that. Don't pretend the captain didn't set them on a coarse that made a sub attack easy. Training late in the war was NO excuse to throw caution to the wind and get home quicker. He was prosecuted because they couldn't find a straw to clutch at (some vague reason to abandon zigzagging). The man made one single mistake that may or may not have doomed his ship and crew, but it certainly made it a lot easier. Doesn't make him a bad commander. But it certainly makes him guilty, whatever some politician did years later to score political points, unless they could prove that he was forced by something urgent to abandon zigzagging policy. Something not known at the trial that Forced his hand and also silenced him.

    • @avgjoe5969
      @avgjoe5969 5 місяців тому

      Several were probably guilty but he definitely was. He was reckless (zigzagging was always used during the war and Does complicate torpedo solutions and getting ahead of a ship in the dark (the only time a sub can do that). So saying it was "ineffective" is nonsense. He made his ship an easy target whatever other mistakes were made. Not giving it escort - might be dodgy, worth looking into. Not knowing it was missing for multipe days - that was worth looking into. Doesn't change the captain's guilt and guilt isn't divided. Prosecutions were kept to a minimum earlier in the war due to moral issues, but this was late in the war and there was no pressure or reason for him to make them an easy target. ("going to Training"... Got to risk the ship for That?). This was not another Dreyfus. He was not a scapegoat. Might have been a stellar career up to then. Sadly, that doesn't matter in a black and white case like this.
