One year after losing seven of their shipmates when the Fitz collided with a merchant vessel, some crew say they remain traumatized and wonder if they are ready to get underway again.
Cmdr. Sean Babbitt said the Fitz's sailors need to get help from the Navy to deal with the trauma of the June 17 collision, which killed seven of their shipmates.
The Navy plans to discipline up to 12 Fitzgerald sailors, including the commanding officer, in connection to the destroyer’s fatal June collision with a commercial ship that led to the drownings of seven sailors in their berthing.
