SAN DIEGO — According to prosecutors, Ryan Sawyer Mays was a young, arrogant sailor angry about being assigned to deck duty after failing to become a Navy SEAL — and he made the Navy pay in a big way.

The Navy spread blame across a wide range of ranks and responsibilities and directly faulted the ship’s three top officers.
