When I said "Here we go again", I was also referring to the previous incident back in 2001 when another USN sub surfaced, sinking another Japanese merchant ship just off Hawaii. If I remember correctly, the sub's CO resigned in great remorse and even wrote a book about it.

Doesnt sound good for the skipper. The USN normally relieves the commander.
