      Like, in theory the CO can just relieve the other two of their position and put new people in place who do concur That's the point of being CO Except that that does reduce the reg to a formality and it's not supposed to be that

      Conversely, the XO can say the CO attempting to relieve him of his office is obviously an attempt to circumvent this regulation Which makes it an unlawful order, even if the initial order to launch was not Which means he can relieve the CO of command and order his arrest

      From a legalistic standpoint, either POV makes sense and can be defended From a practical standpoint, the fact that the Navy provided no clear guidance other than "Work it out among yourselves" re: NUCLEAR FUCKING WEAPONS is very very bad

      Compounded by the fact that when you're trapped on a submarine the legalities are an academic affair for later investigators and who's actually right as a practical matter is determined by the consensus of a bunch of terrified and confused sailors

      (Hence that scary intense speech Denzel gives Viggo, telling him that as the Master Weapons Officer who physically wears the key to the launch panel around his neck, he may be only an LT in the surface world but right now he's the highest ranking person on the boat č

      (The US Navy got peeved about Crimson Tide and had someone say no such breakdown of the chain of command could possibly occur on a real US nuclear attack sub Since the breakdown of the chain of command in the movie saves the world, I'm not sure this is actually reassuring)

      (Crimson Tide is loosely based on a real event that happened on a Soviet sub during the Cuban Missile Crisis, as was the much less successful movie K-19: Widowmaker The equivalent of Denzel's character, Commander Vasily Arkhipov, was in fact treated as a mutineer and pariah)

      He was forced to give an accounting of his actions personally to the Soviet Defense Minister and directly told by the admiral under which he served it would've been better had he died in the skirmish He only wasn't court martialed because they wanted to bury the whole thing

      There are two people who directly saved the world from nuclear war by choosing not to launch when their job was to launch, Vasily Arkhipov in 1962 Stanislav Petrov in 1983, both Soviet officers, both reprimanded and treated as lowkey traitors for doing so

          You could even argue their superiors weren't actually wrong - after all, their country did go on to lose the Cold War

          Right. In some of my academic work on law of war, the absence of a an accepted doctrine on follow-up frequently points to Hugh Thompson: we recognize he had the correct answer at Mai Li, but have never figured out how to train servicemen to figure out how he reached it
