HOT SEAT: The Navy’s top two leaders head to Capitol Hill this morning to face tough questions after two high-profile destroyer collisions this summer laid bare widespread shortfalls in training and funding, as well as a “can do” attitude that means completing the mission at any cost.

Both witnesses — Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson — have ordered separate reviews following the collisions involving the destroyers USS Fitzgerald and USS John S. McCain that killed a total of 17 sailors. And six Navy leaders, including two admirals, have been fired. Despite those moves, expect tough questions from members of the Senate Armed Services Committee over missed warning signs and all the ways the service needs to right itself in the weeks, months and years ahead. The hearing starts at 10, and also includes John Pendleton, whose Government Accountability Office has uncovered strikingly low levels of certification among ships that are forward-deployed in Japan, as well as extreme exhaustion among crews.
