Capt. Jan van Tol, USN Ret., senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments who commanded a minesweeper, a destroyer and an amphibious assault ship during his career, says the USS John McCain’s capabilities as a destroyer should have allowed it to avoid its Aug. 21, 2017, collision “even at the last moment” and discusses how to break the US Navy’s pattern of accidents during an interview with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian. The interview was conducted at CSBA’s Washington headquarters.
