Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Navy fleet commanders identified -- but did not address -- training deficiencies during deployment cycles for Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyers, said a Department of Defense report released Tuesday.
According to the Department of Defense Inspector General, investigators -- who examined Navy readiness assessments and ships' waivers from readiness requirements between August 2013 and April 2018 -- found that training deficiencies persisted because the Navy did not always complete training requirements in accordance with the Surface Force Readiness Manual.
