A fish rots from the head down.

[Travis McGee]

Green bio-fuel veggie-oil, I’ll bet.

[Steely Tom]

I hope “goes down” doesn’t mean “disappears beneath the waves.”

[central_va]

I’ll bet some broad seaman forgot to check the oil.

[Jim Robinson]

Sabotage.

[Sgt_Schultze]

At $110 per gallon no doubt.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Too many hundreds of classes and inspections about ... gay rights, sexual rights, sexual harassment, human rights, home rights, and left and rights ... and NONE about lube oil, wrenches, and filters.

[Steely Tom]

"USS Fort Worth has been a model of reliability for more than one year..."

It's hard to find fault with a record like that.

[advertising guy]

Yep, dry run

[Joe 6-pack]

[Travis McGee]

Yep.

[HiTech RedNeck]

In my car if the oil gets about 1 1/3 quart low, a message comes up on my console warning me about it, which is still well before it will lose oil pressure.

What was saved by leaving out a sensor here? If it was? (Or was its report overlooked, or the system failed?)

[ladyjane]

Sabotage

Yes.

[nascarnation]

You’d think something like this would have full diagnostic monitoring for things like system oil level and operating temp.

[butlerweave]

yes it’s that friends of Obama very expensive bio-fuel

[Vision]

The brass is too busy trying to decide what to rename Midshipmen.

[Jack Hydrazine]

[Steely Tom]

How can it be that “debris found its way into the lubrication system.”

How can that ever happen?

[HiTech RedNeck]

YEP... if not all oil is full, ship should not try to move! (At least not without manual override)

[Scrambler Bob]

I’ll bet some broad seaman forgot to check the oil.

We need more lube.
