USS Port Royal in 2009 off Hawaii. The Zumwalt, completely unable to complete its mission... while transiting Panama Canal, had to be put under tow to Pearl. Some f’n punk kid decides he wants some time off and starts a fire in a dry dock and the SSN Miami (LA class sub) is kaput. Basic seamanship, training and security are all in question. We need a real kick-a@@ SecNav at the minimum and one tough top dog in the Pentagon Navy seat. This cannot continue. Keep monitoring USNaval Institute for the commentary on this— they know what is/has been going on.
And here in this instant as well ...
A multi-mission, hundreds-million dollar ship and missile system knocked out of action for months of expensive repairs ...
And the writer (the “Navy”) is more worried about a few gallons of hydraulic oil that was lost after the collision!
