So it wasn't that he had the bad luck to hit an uncharted undersea mountain in an area that was supposed to be charted. Rather, he was going at a reckless speed in uncharted waters?
Probably, or at least that's my interpretation. Really a combination of both, though (bad luck in that the sea mound was uncharted, but reckless because he was going 30+kts in an incompletely charted region). But even if it wasn't the captain (say the XO decided to do some high speed drills), the Captain would still be responsible. Even if he wasn't in command, he's still in Command.
