USS Fitzgerald To Return to U.S. for Extensive Repairs...NOT!!!

The home shipyards are going to be fight to do the expensive repair job. To minimize the heat from the public and politicians, they are saying its going to be repaired. This is the attack submarine USS Miami model damaged in a NH shipyard fire. They knew it was destroyed. They wasted $50 to $75 million dollars at a shipyard investigating to see if it could be repaired. The Navy decided it is too expensive to repair a year or two after the fire. It's a 22 year old ship and it was in terrible material shape before the terrorism event. Its obsolete. Its dead right now and the Navy knows it.

YOKOSUKA, KANAGAWA PREF. – The U.S. Navy’s guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald will return home for repairs following its fatal collision last month with a Filipino freighter south of Tokyo Bay, a naval official said Friday.
Seven crew members died in the collision on June 17. Whether the crew of the vessel will also return home remains undecided, the official said, adding that the United States will continue to cooperate with Japanese authorities to shed light on the incident.
According to the official, the U.S. side will share information such as the accounts of the crew members.
Once the 8,315-ton warship goes back, the Japan Coast Guard, which is investigating the accident, will be unable to assess the damage.
The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, equipped with the state-of-the-art Aegis missile defense system, sustained heavy damage to its starboard side near the bridge. The bodies of the seven sailors were found in their flooded cabins.
The damaged destroyer is currently berthed at Yokosuka naval base. The extent of the damage will be assessed after it is moved to a dock at the base early this month. The navy will then decide whether it can sail on its own or require towing by other vessels...
