Navy needs to improve information on 'incidents'

More troubling -- and symptomatic -- is the Navy's self-destructive stonewalling of this incident. In this case, the "neither confirm nor deny" policy did an injustice both to the public's right to know and to the Navy itself. By refusing to provide any information on this incident, the Navy undermines its own credibility and professionalism, and also provides fuel for those who could use it to attack the Navy politically and in the public's awareness.
