In 2023, the Navy hired a Los Angeles video firm to make four short films about a string of deadly accidents and the human errors, including lack of sleep, that led to them. The films would be training videos for future officers and chiefs and chronicle the crew fatigue and poor training that led to the grounding of the USS Antietam, and the deadly collisions at sea involving the USS Fitzgerald and USS John S.

Bob Hoover was a U.S. Army Air Forces pilot stuck in a Nazi prison camp in Northern Germany after being shot down in 1944 over Southern France. By the next year, he’d spent 16 months as a POW and wasn’t going to stay there one minute longer.
