I agree with the assessment. They are responsible and having spent a career in the Naval Nuclear Power world, I completely understand why the Director recommended these charges. The father of naval nuclear power:

“Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.”

― Hyman G. Rickover

He sending a message to all commanders.
