[Berman:] All right. First on CNN, the U.S. Navy is expected to call for a one-day operational pause. This is hours after the USS John McCain collided with an oil tanker. And this is to investigation, we understand, the series of events that have taken place this year. CNN Military analyst and diplomatic analyst, retired Rear Admiral John Kirby joins us now. Admiral, what does this mean, a one-day operational pause?
[Rear Adm. John Kirby, Cnn Military And Diplomatic Analyst:] Well, what this is, is they're going to give fleet commanders across the Navy a chance over the next couple of weeks to take one day at their discretion because they all have operational commitments they have to meet. I mean, they don't want to stand in the way of the Navy's mission readiness every day but they want to take one day over those weeks and give fleet commander chance to take a pause, a safety stand down, if you will, a chance to not operate at the unit level, and take a look at how they're training, how they're preparing, how they're standing watches, equipment readiness. Just take basically like taking a knee, John, to take a hard look at where they are in terms of watch standard readiness and material readiness before they go back out to sea. And again, this will be up to each unit commander to determine what day is best for them over the next couple of weeks. That way the Navy can still meet all its mission requirements.
[Berman:] All right. Admiral John Kirby, thanks so much for helping us understand this news. Again, the U.S. Navy issuing a one-day operational pause across the Navy to assess the situation in the wake of the collision with the USS John McCain. All right. Do you have your eclipse glasses ready? Yes? We were supposed to have music right there. Apparently we don't. But trust me, we're going to speak to Bonnie Tyler who sang a very famous song about eclipses. She'll be right here on CNN.
