Seventh Fleet War Fighting Capabilities Much More Degraded Than Seamanship!!!

Basically traveling through the oceans would maintain a certain level of minimal seamanship proficiency. It in a high traffic area would the seamanship fails. 

The weapons systems undergo no such minimum proficiencies. An accident seen to the public basically outs the poor proficiencies with seamanship fleet wise. The reliability and warfighting capabilities remain a dangerous black box. You can't say a dysfunction remains only active in one section of the organization. It is defused into throughout the organization.

I expect the war fighting capabilities of these ships to be much more degraded than seamanship. It is because they are much more non transparent. The only real way we would test the war fighting capabilities is in a active engagement.
