WASHINGTON — Like all the branches of the U.S. armed forces, the Navy has made clear it will not tolerate extremism in the ranks. It has announced its plans for a 60-day stand-down to get that message to everyone in the service.

Initially ordered by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin in a February 5 memo to the individual services,  the Navy has now announced its expectations for a "period of reflection" that all commands must complete by April 2.

      U.S. Navy's Afloat Accident Rate Hits Decade High, Led by MSC

      The U.S. Naval Safety Command has released its accident numbers for FY2024, and the report shows a rising rate of serious mishaps in the fleet. The number of afloat Class A mishaps - accidents resulting in a fatality, permanent disability, or property damage over $2.5 million - rose to a decade-high number, led by accidents in the surface fleet and a spike in casualties at Military Sealift Command. To be sure, the statistics suggest that the Navy loses far fewer personnel at sea than on land. The average rate of class A mishaps is many times higher on shore, where personal motor vehicle accidents claim the lives of about 40 sailors a year - the majority in motorcycle crashes. (On average, off-duty motorcycle riding is the most dangerous activity in the Navy.)
