"Holy Cr$# That is a LOT of damage. I would like to know what really happened and HOW it happened! These things are expensive!!.

Now this is a rather hmmn... ignorant comment. The life that was lost is both priceless and irreplacable. The cost of the ship is due to the fact that the lives of the personel manning it are just as priceless. The years of training and experience necessary to living and working aboard one of these ships is worth tens of Millions of dollars. That being said, the boat saved them in turn. If she had not been so beautifully designed, built, and cared for, she would be at the bottom. She served her purpose, she saved their lives.
All in all, the men aboard any US Submarine is worth the cost of the ship hundreds of times over.
IMHO, every man abord that boat deserves an Admiral's Commendation. The fact that that boat is in dry dock at all is something of a major miracle, and that was created in whole by the personel that saved her. The cost of the Boat is nothing compared to the value of the crew.
God Bless the Crew of the San Francisco!!!

Since you are relatively new here, and have not read my posts over the last 5-6 years, I will be kind.

There is no one, NO ONE, more supportive and caring for the military (and also children). Do a search on my screen name and you will see. I do have family and friends in the military.

To assume that I am more concerned about the ship then the men is idiotic and is representative of liberal thinking.

If we do not find out how one of the most technologically advanced creations in the world could supposedly slam into an underground mountain, then the possibility exists that this could happen again and more lives could be lost in a future accident.

Your thinking is flawed and I now know to read your futures posts knowing that you are the type of person to jump to conclusions at a superficial level.

Enjoy DU and Have a nice day!!!!
