But Waddle rigorously defended the procedures onboard the Greeneville, denying that he had cut corners on safety or that he had been in a hurry to return to port that day. Lawyer Gittins later hit back at the high command with a suggestion that retired Admiral Richard Macke, who organized the civilian tour on the sub, may have had "some sort of financial relationship" with the visitors.
