When you ignore your admirals, your ships begin to sink. Hegseth's incompetence is beginning to seep through.

Or, you know, don't build ships out of material that corrodes quickly. Don't make a bespoke gun and then have the manufacturer go bankrupt. Don't go with the lowest bidder on engines or prop shaft seals. I could go on for a while. Acquisitions is pretty messed up.

because most of the so-called adminstration are incompetent. trump and kegsbreath and muscovite don't like to have people around them who can easily outshine them. it's gonna take decades to put back experts that have been wrongly sidelineed/fired.

One thing you cannot get away with is deferring maintenance on an oceangoing, working ship. It’s a recipe for disaster (so, pretty much in line with all current GOP policies).

Those Independence class littoral combat ships have been a clusterfuck from the get go.

Shocker

It went to Singapore for maintenance as a raw water pump was malfunctioning and the engines and generators were operting beyond their prescribed range. It is maintenance.

looks like a littoral failure to me

IN EVERY AREA OF GOVERNMENT DESTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY AMERICAN Bureaucracy, an organizational system where laws, rules, and regulatory authority are implemented by non-elected officials and civil servants Institutional knowledge and Protections are gone

He’s stealing the money from defense just like they do in RUSSIA

Children can't maintain their own toys

The LCS’ were a good idea but have been a complete disaster start to finish.

Wonder why trump can't get contractors to bid on his projects? From the article: "But when the Navy put out a call in August to a dozen of its contractors for a separate slate of needed repairs, it received zero bids.. "

It doesn't help that there is a totally unqualified individual heading the DOD

Imma blame trump for this

How long do you think the Navy service people will be allowed to keep their cellphones documenting all this abuse and incompetence?
