    Re: Degradation of professionalism in Navy

    LIke every other student who ever  took Francis Wright's Cel Nav
    class  at Harvard, I came away with her guiding rule burned forever in
    my ROMware: "Constant Vigilance."  It was a principle she repeated
    several times in each class, and richly illustrated with one accident
    after another, from the Honda catastrophe to myriad screw-ups to many
    to mention.   As I read the USS Hartford story, I could feel her
    ghostly presence in the room, looking over my shoulder, uttering
    "constant vigilance" in her unforgettable voice!
    
    -p
    
    And a postscript.  My other vivid memory of her marvelous class was
    that it was the only course in my academic career where the professor
    brought apples and cookies to every class!
