(more than a third of America’s nuclear-powered attack submarines are idle)
Well, it’s not like World War III may happen.....
“Nearly 40% of US Nuclear Subs Out of Commission for Repairs”
Take that, Putin!!!!
“Nearly 40% of US Nuclear Subs Out of Commission for Repairs”
...and JUST IN TIME for World War 3 (unless the Neocons are stopped).
All on purpose.
(weaken our military preparedness)
Oh, Barack Hussein Obama’s main agenda: Weaken America by 1,000 cuts and instigating trouble.
Jon Voight was right: Obama feeds poison to his followers. And they lap it up with a spoon 🥄.
I believe my grandson’s might be among this 40%.
I hate Joe Shitbiden as much as anyone but don’t they assume one returning from patrol, one going on patrol, and one in refit?
I thought that was the procedure.
1. I am not defending Biden.
2. It’s fairly normal for about one third of any fleet to spend time in repair and refit.
What is the standard metric for the percentage of subs that are out of commission at one time. The 40% number doesn’t matter much unless you can compare it to what it usually is.
Blowing all munitions in Ukraine. Trannies on leadership. Subs don’t work. Planes, too. Our troops are fat, out of shape, and can “call timeout” in training. DEI insures the best aren’t promoted.
If China was in charge, how could you tell?
Brandon, You mean you have ANOTHER sub in dry dock???
Here is the CRS report. The report is specific to the Virgnia Class of attack submarines
As a former a nuclear submarine officer I have to say that I don't know what to make of this. Canibalizing parts from one ship that just came in for refit to make a sub about to go to sea ready for sea is pretty standard fare. Furthermore at any given time most attack submarines are in port for repair, refit, training, and crew R&R.
Moreover, this report does not distinguish between parts and critical parts - the submarine cannot get underway or cannot fight but for this part vs some broken and missing bits that are needed to return the sub to its as built condition, but care not absolutely necessary for operations.
So this could be a huge issue, or it could be breathless reporting based upon a routine audit or inspection written by someone whose job is to overstate things that are wrong.
Too busy having drag shows for fags to worry about readiness
Does anyone think China’s or Russia’s Navy is more ready than ours? Everything China has is either imaginary or a copy of something stolen from another company that is built with so many short cuts they are just floating death traps. Watch The China Show on youtube.
Are they boasting about a 200 ship navy?
The traitorist Democrats are bound and determined to destroy this Republic. I wonder do all those jerks weakening us to the point China could whip us in days realize if the Chinese did take over do they think Chinese would reward them for betraying their country or would they say ... You betrayed your country once but you will not get a chance to do that to our country ...BANG
The chicoms and other nonfriends of the U.S. thank the Western Journal for the contribution of the U.S. Naval readiness status. /s
We had to get parts from other boats so we could make our patrol schedule while they waited for our parts. Who was Pres? Jimmy Carter. Dems suck at being prepared for war and give our blood for their money during war. Vietnam is an obvious tell.
Oh how the mighty has fallen.
Yeah go ahead and kick God out of your country and support immoral acts. See where it gets you
