1:42:04
was ultimately resolved with fewer
than a hundred soldiers dead.
1:42:07
And the nuclear base captured by
Radchenko is back in government hands.
1:42:12
Reporting live from the French aircraft
carrier Foch in the Mediterranean Sea...
1:42:16
this is Richard Valeriani for CNN.
1:42:29
All right, stand there, uh, Lieutenant
Commander Hunter. This won't take long.
1:42:32
This panel has convened in order
to investigate the events...
1:42:35
subsequent to the setting
of condition 1Sq...
1:42:38
for strategic missile launch...
1:42:41
on board the USS Alabama
on 1 November.
1:42:44
Now, based on the testimony
from personnel on board the Alabama...
1:42:49
and, in no small measure, to that
of the senior officer, Captain Ramsey...
1:42:54
I am prepared to make
my recommendations to SUBPAC.
1:42:56
- Without my testimony, sir?
- You have a problem with that?
1:43:01
- I might, sir.
- I have known Captain Ramsey
for almost 30 years.
1:43:06
We served together
on more than a few occasions.
1:43:08
If he is lying, this will be
the first I've heard of it.
1:43:12
- Yes, sir.
- My primary concern here...
1:43:16
is the breakdown in the system.
1:43:18
In this instance,
the system failed...
1:43:21
because the two senior officers did not
work to resolve their differences...
1:43:26
while preserving
the chain of command.
1:43:28
Now you may have been
proven right, Mr. Hunter...
1:43:32
but insofar as
the letter of the law is concerned...
1:43:35
you were both right.
1:43:37
And you were also both wrong.
1:43:41
This is the dilemma that will
occupy this panel, this Navy...
1:43:45
and this country's armed forces
as a whole...
1:43:49
long after you leave this room.
1:43:53
Off the record, you've both
created one hell of a mess:
1:43:59
A mutiny aboard a United States
nuclear submarine...
