The Navy is running into the same problem we're seeing in the aviation industry. The automation is getting to the point where the crew relies on automation, instead of their skills and knowledge. ...
But would automatization not normally mean that FEWER accidents were to be expected?
As with aviation most accidents are caused by human doing things they should not or not doing things they should - relative to that systematic errors occurs seldomly. Everything else being equal, the less human intervention that is needed, the lower the rate of accidents should be.

There have been four collisions involving US navy vessels in the last year, and now the commander of the 7th fleet has been relieved of duty to fix it all.

Yeah, well, when some dude drives a car into a bunch of people on the roads, we call it "terrorism".
And when some dude flys a plane into a tall building, we call it "terrorism."
But, when some dude drives a tanker into a US Navy ship, somehow, that's an "accident."
At what point, after this happens over and over, do we begin to suspect "terrorism." ?
