USS Scorpion 589…It’s 1968 again.
I am just saying there is a huge ethical problem in our fleet of submarines and within our ship Yards. It is effecting our war fighting stance and is threatening a loss of another submarine such as the Scorpion.
It’s a giant breakdown in ethics based on a rationalization with cost. This process of cost, profits and quality…it training all the players to distort and lie.
Reminds me of the end of Rickover at EB!

A shipyard spokeswoman said last week that delivery has been pushed
