We should have our country's best and brightest engineers working on the construction of the Navy's new aircraft carrier fleet.
If we do not, that is incredibly sad.
If we do...... this is...... a disgrace.
Toilets on two Virginia-based Navy aircraft carriers that have become repeatedly clogged could require treatments costing $400,000 each to get them working properly, a U.S. Government Accountability Office report found.
Navy maintenance crews determined both Norfolk-based aircraft carriers' sewage systems could require costly acid flushes, potentially regularly, to fix the problem, according to the report. Officials said they did not know how many times the treatments would be needed.
$400k per treatment. An unknown number of treatments per year. A vessel that'll have a 40-50 year life......minimum!
What poor planning and an utter waste of taxpayer money.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
