The 5 Main Options For Australia's AUKUS Nuclear Submarine Deal - Naval News

At least it wasn’t held together with rubber bands and paper clips.

Not to pick on Britain; but when it comes to stupid stuff, they’re racing full-throttle for the bottom.

Inspectors recently found a “flaw” in one of the Royal Navy’s four nuclear submarines. Some bolts broke, heads snapped off, as a result of over-tightening (https://www.businessinsider.in/international/news/a-uk-nuclear-submarine-had-its-broken-bolts-fixed-with-superglue-report-says/articleshow/97529657.cms). The correct procedure, of course,would have been to replace the broken bolts.

Wrong! What somebody did was to glue the broken heads back on with super glue. They caught the error just before the sub’s nuclear reactor was fired up to full power for the first time. Coulda been a trifle messy, don’t you think?

Never before in human history has so much money and effort been spent on “education.”

And look what we’re getting for it.

The Navy vs… Bedbugs!

Where Do Bed Bugs Come From? Identify Bed Bugs & Bites

Some of us are worried about Red China’s brand-new navy muscling up to chase our navy out of the Pacific Ocean. But the crew of the USS Connecticut, a nuclear submarine, have a more immediate problem.

They’re fighting off an infestation of bedbugs; and so far, it looks like the bedbugs are winning (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/navy-grappling-with-bed-bug-infestation-of-bremerton-based-nuclear-submarine/).

It’s not funny. The sailors aboard the boat insist the bugs are still there, despite various measures taken to get rid of them. Because of the bedbugs, the crew is sleep-deprived. This could lead to a disaster: we don’t want the sub crashing into an underwater mountain because the guys steering her can’t keep awake.

It’s almost funny, though. A nuclear submarine! How much does one of those cost? How much havoc could it wreak with its nuclear arsenal? And a bunch of tiny, nasty, dirty little bugs has it just about pinned to the canvas.
