Heads Should Roll…. a lost nuke sub America is losing one of its too few nuclear attack submarines - USS BOISE. To be honest she hasn’t been doing much for years and its sailors have not had the professional benefit of time at-sea. This decision by Secretary of the Navy is not remarkable and that’s the issue. Having a high-demand/low-availability submarine sitting next to the pier waiting for repairs since 2015, is a gross abuse of resources, and simply cancelling repairs and discarding the boat doesn’t address root causes of what caused this decade-long predicament. This statement stands out as it indicates a nagging lack of accountability, making a repeat of this situation likely: "I can’t point to one thing that killed it," he said (SecNav). "I think it was a combination … the complexity of the engineering, COVID impacts, and pressure on the industrial base." Top of mind should be - what is being done to address public shipyard capacity deficits so that shipbuilders (also behind schedule) don’t need to take on repair work jeopardizing construction of new boats?
