When the military did not step in after the 2020 election and stop the steal, I lost respect for them. They are now agents of an evil, despotic government.

I am willing to supply hammers or toilet seats...

Lets get in on the graft, theft, corruption and managerial incompetence.

Why would a military leadership shaped by 8 years of Caliph Baraq want to “stop the steal”?

Interesting

I visited a sub called DSRV Years ago.
MYSTIC as I recall.
Submarines are built to a Higher standard
Than Aircraft...IMHO.

It’s my understanding that a nuclear sub might contain three such reactors in order to build in war time survivability. this implies that each reactor might fit into a train engine. Just think how rail transportation might change with autonomist driving and no refueling for fifty years.

Cuz they call it an “electric boat” instead of a a nuclear-powered submarine. It sounds like a name that only a wokester would come up with on a Zoom call.

My youngest graduated as a Nuclear Machinists Mate in Charleston last year. After prototype school and ELT training he got assigned to his first boat. His new Home port... Joint Base Pearl.. I now have a reason to visit Hawaii. His next goal is Dolphins by July. Another 12 hrs of advanced chemistry and he will have a BS in Nuclear Chemistry. He’s thinking about a mustang track.

Interesting, Isaac Rice must have been “woke” in 1899 when he started the company.

LOL! Electric Boat is a company! The prime builder of submarines for over 100 years.

The US Navy are no longer on our side. These are enemy submarines.

Never heard of a nuclear sub with more than one reactor. Where did you get that “understanding”?

It is a very old name for subs since before nuclear power they ran on batteries when submerged.

Now consider that the same reactor and fuel core could be mass produced and used for decentralized power generation around the country instead of vast unreliable wind farms and solar panel deserts.

Finally caught on tomthe joke! Anti-EV’ers can’t read.

The think that the new submarine is woke battery powered!

“General Dynamics Electric Boat Awarded “

Electric Boat is a company but they read Electric Boat as a type of submarine.
