I expect our reaction would have been about the same as the Japanese reaction has been so far. As far as I've heard, I don't believe that the civilians were actually controlling anything but I haven't checked the news. The United States Navy has some hard questions to answer. I expect the captain will be permanantly relieved. I believe that he has been relieved pending the results of the naval investigation that is currently underway as we speak. I send my prayers and condolences to the families of those passengers and crewmen of the trawler who were lost. Kindest Reguards, Neil
