In a new report, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GOA) recommends that the U.S. Navy should take further measures in order to improve training quality. In fact, with the aim to improve ship-driving skills, the Navy has added classroom and simulator training for the Surface Warfare Officers who drive these ships, since 2017, when ship collisions resulted in the loss of 17 sailors’ lives as well as significant damage to Navy ships.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has completed a review that identifies that, even if the US Navy has already taken initial steps to rebuild military readiness, years of sustained attention will be required in order to fully overcome the challenges.

The US Government Accountability Office issued a report addressing federal and state actions, expenditures and challeges on abandoned and derelict vessels. The report notes that the ability of the federal government to respond to such incidents is largely limited to those vessels, that create a hazard to navigation, they threat of a spill of oil or hazardous substance, or present a public health threat.
