quick hop some distance away to get second bearing to triangulate, x marks the spot, with a bit of luck....
See my post just prior to yours.
You are entirely correct. Our navy us currently under-manned, under-equipped and over-tasked. You can't keep cutting funds and expect the same level of performance. Eventually things start to break, men and machines.
This is only the latest in a string of publicized war-game failures our Navy has suffered.
Last year or maybe a couple of years ago, our Navy leased the use of a diesel electric submarine built for the Swedes, I believe. It was to train our boat crews on how to hunt for that type of sub. Don’t know if we still lease the use of the Swedish sub.
