Ep. 175: Crimson Tide

Zo has a met up with a Navy friend of his who happened to be a submarine officer. Zo’s Navy friend was all shook up as there where a lot of things that happened on the sub that had him questioning whether or not he should resign his commission. In the conversation the young officer revealed things that happened that were probably classified top secret. The friend talked about that they almost fired nuclear missiles and almost started a nuclear war and that it was only the intervention of the very cautious XO that prevented the launch. This intervention lead to an argument between the XO and the Captain of the boat, the XO forcefully relieving the Captain of being in command of the boat, and most damning, the mutiny of the crew. Zo asked his friend if the friend sided with the XO or the Captain. The friend didn’t want to say, but would only comment that the whole incident felt like the coming of . . . a Crimson Tide.
