McCain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five years later, we want to hear from surface warfare officers and sailors who were serving back then and remain in uniform today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How has Big Navy done when it comes to the slew of reforms enacted after those collisions? Have things gotten better or worse in terms of manning, material readiness, operations tempo and other issues?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email <a href=\"mailto:geoffz@militarytimes.com\" target=\"_blank\">geoffz@militarytimes.com<\/a> to share your thoughts.
