I hadn’t seen that entire Connecticut report before. But it smacks of extreme mumbojumbo. Any one of the various system problems listed should have kept the thing in drydock until they were fixed. The notion that a Seawolf was sent on a known shallow water mission with defective depth/sonar units isn’t even believable.

A related read is a book “Unknown Waters” by Capt McLaren on the Queenfish SSN 651 and how the ship was built to go under the ice. All the fast attacks have that same basic capability. But this is Biden’s navy so maybe halfassedness is the order of the day?
