500			_aThe article argues for a re-evaluation of the 'redline' process within the U.S. Navy. Redlines are personnel or equipment deficiencies that, while not necessarily preventing a warship's safe operation, require senior officer approval for the ship to sail. Stein contends that rethinking this process could reduce stress in sailors, encourage growth in critical enlisted classifications, and lessen administrative burdens. He emphasizes that operating under waivers for these deficiencies does not reduce a unit commander's accountability. The article suggests that empowering commanders by rethinking redlines would not significantly affect a ship's ability to train, survive or operate.
