Well I’m willing to bet one of the two male co defendants will take the fall for this. No doubt the argument will be that Mz Gray was newish to the ship and her male underlings were more experienced. Rather like the formulation when a “star” female Pilot flew her helicopter into a passenger plane over the river in Washington. In the latter case she “mis heard” or didn’t want to follow instructions to take evasive action and flew straight into the aircraft. I shall be googling the result of Cdr. Gray’s case.
