When 80% of your resources are out of service due to poor design of the upgrade or shoddy work at the shipyard it's kind of hard to hide it.
It would be better to shift other resources to the area before you make the announcement. You have 80% of your crews sitting around doing not much at all -- that's not good. Our southern border seems to be fading before our eyes.
I wonder just how much experience Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin had in rebuilding ships when they won the contract.
There are plenty of good ship yards out there that make mods like these.
