Is this what used to happen at a "captain's mast?" Just asking. Marianne Speaking of flogging, Subsunk and Lex, how long ago was the last flogging of a U.S. sailor, aboard a U.S. ship, carried out?

Perhaps that's why the Navy(military) is so successful in its own right. Because we more frequently lose Commanding Officers when subordinates screw up than national players and parties, as long as there is a D at the end of their names. There's a new reason the Captain should have the ability to flog 'em till they drop. Subsunk I know you are being facetious, Capt. Lex, but….

Perhaps that’s why the Navy(military) is so successful in its own right. Because we more frequently lose Commanding Officers when subordinates screw up than national players and parties, as long as there is a D at the end of their names.

There’s a new reason the Captain should have the ability to flog ‘em till they drop.
