The ship grounded after anchoring out in high winds, officials said. When the crew noticed the ship was dragging its anchor, Antietam got back underway. Shortly after, the crew felt the ship shudder and lose all pitch control in both propellers. The grounding caused the ship to dump about 1,100 gallons of oil into the water. Nobody was injured in the incident.

Sounds like there is a Navy O-6 out there who won't be making O-7.

As a young officer Chester Nimits grounded a ship and it never stopped him.

Different military, different times. Jonas Ingram was court martialed and still made flag rank. Nowadays not contributing to the Combined Federal Campaign can cost you.
