The Department of the Navy Response To My NCIS Tip


 
See, a nuclear submarine saboteur is mocking the investigation of the Navy by starting another fire with a delayed ignition source.

KITTERY, Maine — Another fire broke out in the vicinity of the USS Miami nuclear submarine on Saturday, less than a month after a fire inside the sub caused extensive damage, according to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard public affairs.
According to a statement released by public affairs on Monday, a small fire broke out at around 7:13 p.m. on Saturday in Dry Dock 2 at the shipyard, where the USS Miami is located.
The small fire was outside of the ship and a shipyard employee extinguished the flames with a fire extinguisher by the time the fire department arrived, according to public relations.
The ship’s nuclear reactor was never in danger and no radioactive material was involved, public relations reported.
The cause is under investigation. No one was injured.

...Update: So I got it right before it came out by the Navy, the bomb had to be placed in at a strategic time and space so the fire could pick up speed on its own without detection.

I wonder what the sound silencing new technique was they were going to apply on this boat in this availability...was it a highly flammable sprayed on foam to the inside hull or other areas?


There is just about no doubt this is intention intelligent foreign terrorism.

It is at least sailor or shipyard worker sabotage.
Navy Times

"The May 23 fire that gutted the fore end of the attack submarine Miami started in a vacuum cleaner used by drydock workers to clean their worksites and stored in an unoccupied space, the Navy said Wednesday."

Pingree tours fire-damaged submarine in Maine
Associated Press

"Workers began an assessment and cleanup last week, and Pingree became the first member of Congress to get a look inside when she toured the sub Monday, observing the fire-damaged control room as well as the nuclear propulsion area in the rear of the sub, which was not affected by the fire."
 

Kittery Rep Chellie Pingree, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, climbed down inside the U.S.S. Miami today, observing the damage caused by last month's fire on the nuclear submarine.
So shoot me, I am trying to influence one of the most consequential Naval investigation in many decades.
Translated below: Maneuvering (where they operate the reactor) was out of communications with the outside for a indeterminate amount of time. The worst, finding every one dead in the nuclear spaces after 10 hours and nobody manning Maneuvering or the naval reactor. You could have had everyone asphyxiated in the nuclear spaces. Like I said, there is only one ventilation system in the sub and it serves both forward and back aft. They were minutes away, and luck, from all of the nuclear operators being dead.
I could make a case the breathing apparatus and the ships ventilation is mostly designed for at sea and underwater operation.

This was submitted last week to the NCIS tip line...

"11) The nuclear reactor might have been in more perilous times than admitted. I can't go into it, even when shutdown...this little reactor throws out a really large amount decade heat. Decay heat is what caused all the troubles in Fukushima. Who really knows how bad it was back there at the reactor controls...it was toxic smoke? There is no separation between forward and aft ventilation. How much smoke was in the reactor control room? Were the reactor operators walking around in breathing masks? We know burning debris from 9/11 is extremely toxic and it's killing people. How are sailors and off site volunteer fire department firefighter going to be medically covered with the toxic conditions of this fire?"
This is the Navy department and the shipyard calling congress women Pingree down to be their prop to send a message to Mike Mulligan and outside. They are demonstrating to the outside the nuclear side of the boat is ok....so called using congressman Pingree as a outside independent credibility prop. She is a navy vehicle to speak to the media and thus no Naval officer could be called for task for lying and being unethical. This is one of the pitfalls of strict ethical rules, everyone figures out how to talk through other's mouths. This could still be a still a huge national security operation. They know the congresswomen will be too dazzled to ask the right questions. I had to have a top secret security clearance to work in a submarine back aft in my days. You didn't need that to be a forward puke (we were all pukes...sea sickness transiting on the surface in rough weather) in the ship. The navy very rarely allows civilians back aft without the proper security classification.
Do you think this is a coincidence coming yesterday and the tip to NCIS...this is simmering on such a huge scandal and there is so much special economic interest involved. Do you rebuild a fatally damaged and obsolete submarine to save a shipyard...accommodate too many national security operations for submarines and not enough subs?

Honestly, this kind of immediate damage control from the Navy Department and the fruits of a NCIS tip indicates there is a huge conscious cover-up on going. Or it could be a terrorism investigation...when is it going to go criminal?  The navy department and the shipyard, with a host of political cronies have been telling half truths and story shaping. I'll bet you they have been telling half truths to the puppet politicians themselves, so the politicians can show their best foot forward.

And how demoralizing is this to the submarine fleet of sailors, the expense of the high turnover of sailors and lack of skills caused by the high turnover? This poor planning and critical shortage of submarines for a far as the eye can see. It is driven by our 10 years of wars and our political dysfunction with defense budgets and our national budget priories. This is going to have huge consequence to the lives and families of these sailors. It is going to terribly hobble and weaken the submarine force for a decade. It highlights how fragile the fleet is.

One thing I learned over the years, a dysfunction in one section of a system indicates a dysfunction in the whole system.

And the most vulnerable and heroic volunteer sailors always pays the terrible price with shadowy self interested big careers driving the show.

The horror of it all, Iran knew how fragile the nuclear fleet of submarines was...how breaking the weak link would damage us for a decade.
