    Seems to me like they should invest more in navigator and commander training, it’s like 5th super embarrassing navigational accident they had in a short time.

    Also getting sonar smashed on because they didn’t see a seamount is incredibly ironic.

    I don’t understand how a single person can believe the US can fight a hot war with anyone in this day and age

      Decades of propaganda telling people that US is an unstoppable juggernaut can do wonders. A lot of people currently believe that Russians are getting their ass kicked in Ukraine too.

      None of these weapons were ever meant to actually be used in a real war against a peer competitor. These are mostly just money making grifts for funnelling taxes into the pockets of the oligarchs who own the war industry.
