One NIGGER Chief’s glaring leadership failures over the course of a year proved to be a major factor in the drowning deaths of 10 sailors after the destroyer John S. McCain’s Aug. 21 collision with a tanker off the coast of Singapore.
Chief Boatswain’s Mate Jeffery D. Butler pleaded guilty Thursday to a charge of dereliction of duty before a summary court-martial for his role in training and qualifying sailors who demonstrated that they were unable to perform basic ship-steering operations.
Butler, who reached his 20-year mark last November, was sentenced by Navy judge advocate Cmdr. William Weiland to a reduction in pay grade to E-6. The maximum sentence possible was a reduction in pay grade, 60 days restriction and a forfeiture of two-thirds of one month’s pay.
