And who is Ray Mabus? Harvard Law, from Mississippi, who served as a LT JG on a WWII era cruiser, USS Little Rock, which was decommissioned in 1949. He’s never been aboard a nuclear service vessel, much less ANY kind of submarine. Largely been a CEO for industrial companies... one in particular makes...... batteries (like for electric boats, too?) He has little to no command experience of any recent type and little to no understanding of what this would mean to a submarine as opposed to a massive WWII era cruiser or a carrier, or more precisely a surface vessel. What he WAS was Ambassador to Saudi Arabia under Bill Clinton... and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Hey, it all works for these types... just a management issue. No focus on our readiness or warfighting capabilities. He was at Saudi when 1993 WTC attack occurred.
Nothing was based on actual knowledge of life on Subs or on reality.
