Nobody operates a blind trust like that. Selling off assets for no rhyme or reason is not working in the owner's best interests and almost certainly goes against the instructions they left. A blind trust is basically caretaker mode and almost always comes out mostly the same as it went in...

No. That's not even close to how a blind trust works. It is absolutely unheard of for a trustee to liquidate an entire portfolio. A trustee has to work in the owner's best interests and follow any instructions, like what to reinvest in, what prices to buy or sell it, any industries to buy or...

For comparison, here's HMS  Hermes returning from the Falklands in not as bad shape, but not that much better after a much shorter war.

Chances are he forgot he even had LinkedIn.

And a few months later, RCR got called out to respond to the Kingston Penitentiary riot. The rioting prisoners surrendered immediately. Jumping off the trucks with bayonets already fixed is a choice.

As stupid as the order to switch back to steam is, it wasn't applied to Big John. It's only starting with Doris Miller. And I'm sure the Navy will "get right on that" and just ignore it for the rest of his term, maybe come up with fake studies and reviews to look like they're working on it...
