People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

There aren't any guarantees of life or limb just because you are doing the right thing.
RIP Commander!

Jeeze...he was pretty old eh? Ummm, no
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Prayers for his family, friends, and colleagues.
As soon as I saw that he was the commanding officer of the whole team, I wondered if he had been getting as many training reps the past couple/few years as those under his command (i.e., those more likely going into combat next week/month than the team commander) had. Not that he wasn't qualified to do his job but with something requiring a high level of skill being even very slightly less proficient at something inherently dangerous can have bad results.
Reaction time, which is critical when something goes awry, also diminishes with age, which is why few MLB players play into their 40's, even as designated hitters. I'm sure pilots, especially carrier-based pilots, have to pay special attention to get in the flight time/traps to remain proficient after they enter command levels.
Tragic incident, and I'm sure the Navy will review things closely for contributing factors.

Fair winds and following seas, commander.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.
