In another one of his monumental speeches, Rickover spoke to the National Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI about the loss of professionalism among the engineers, and the interference of line officers in technical matters, has resulted in naval ships of questionable design. And that the Navy is raising a generation of officers who believe that technical training is not essential and that they can rely on management techniques to make decisions. The reason for selecting the FBI for this message is not clear.
