That incident changed the way the Navy operated. Ships had to send a position report every four hours. I would guess with gps now it is totally automated and the fleet commanders have instant knowledge. If I remember correctly, the Skipper wasn't doing the required zig zag maneuvers when the torpedo hit them. True. But no one knew they had been sunk for like four days when they did not show up to port. In the mid 90’s if you didn’t send your position report in you would be contacted shortly by the chain of command. And that usually led to the Officer of the deck, quartermaster of the watch, and a radio man getting their hind end chewed out by the captain. This only applied while we were underway. And I only have knowledge of surface activities.
