I would also like to express my heartfelt condolences to the families of the seven U.S. Navy sailors who were lost in the crash of the USS Fitzgerald. The loss of these seven men in peacetime, in such a bizarre and rare accident, is nothing short of a tragedy. I expect the Navy will conduct a thorough and full investigation to figure out what went wrong and hold all responsible parties accountable. For now, our prayers are with the families of the seven sailors who lost their lives in service to this great country. ____________________
