The Los Angeles class submarine, USS Boise (SSN-764), has
been waiting pier side since 2015 for routine maintenance. The Navy has now announced that a 2024, $1.2B
maintenance contract has been terminated and the vessel will be retired.
Boise was commissioned 1992 and served around 22 yrs until
being abandoned pier side by the Navy in 2015 where it has been rotting since.
A perfectly good, world class submarine abandoned by the
Navy because they prioritized new hulls over maintenance of existing ones.
We’re in a pre-war arms race with China and the Navy does
this?
I’m not a lawyer but this is unforgivable criminal
negligence, dereliction of duty, and fraudulent management of the nation’s
resources by a decade of Navy leadership.
Every CNO since 2015 should be recalled to active duty and
court-martialed. It’s depressing how
many of my posts end with that sentence, isn’t it?
