Twenty years ago, when VMS just got introduced, it behaved like this...

I can't believe that after all this time, it's still completely borked, in all the same ways.

Somebody at NAVSEA needs to be dragged by their nostrils out on a deployment, take notes, and go back to their office with their pride in a garbage bag.

Proud as hell to have served, and angry as hell that our current crews are still dealing with the same ---procurement--- failures.

That's from the time when everything was still (and everything still being planned for the replacements were also) big-bang releases. 5-10 year projects to replace the broken system that still lack the necessary capabilities. I've never worked on a Navy project, but I've seen several spectacular USAF failures of similar magnitude. The most hilarious (in an absurdist sense) was having 3 generations of a system running concurrently because none of them had all the necessary features, when I left they were working on number 4.

Well... What is your solution for this?

It's the same story all over again. Somehow the us navy managed to win WWII in the Pacific, in spite of the bureau of ordinance.

I believe the term you are seeking here is keelhauled!
