Maybe quoting the person which had to be forcefully retired to stop them from holding back development of nuclear navy (not to mention his tendency to settle political scores by holding back certifications) after 1970 isn't the best in given context.

63 years of active duty service (1918 - 1982).

Zero naval reactor accidents.

Finally forced to retire after refusing to agree to pay General Dynamics Electric Boat $634 million for mistakes they made in submarine construction.

... yeah, what an asshole.

I think you should really read more on his track record, history and reasons for dismissal.

If you've got a bone to pick, then include the entire story, good and bad.
