What is wrong with the welds?? Supposedly, these are x rayed and visually inspected. Was their something wrong with the welding gasses? Perhaps.

Round up the usual subjects.

People responsible for the welding program need to go to jail for a long time.

Preferably, for life.

The Canadians bought a bunch of used subs from the Brits that turned out to be lemons.

Not to worry, we have a wonky Emperor who should stay in the White House for the next 8 months and 2 1/2 days.

Welding processes require constant discipline and support from top management to be successful. Areas such as training and requalification of the welders and nondestructive test personnel require expensive, highly trained individuals to succeed.

Companies with cost cutting, bean counter lead management (MBAs) cut highly compensated individuals in these areas and anyone that stands in their way.

Weld discipline and skills degrade, defective welds are produced and there is no one in the process to detect and correct.

Without proper oversight such as the US SUPSHIPS agency, the defective welds can take years to detect.

Way back when, Electric Boat had a welding problem until the welders had to ride the boat on it’s first test dive.

Don’t blame the welders. The blame lies with the engineers as usual.

Thank God that the son of Pierre Trudeau has been elected Prime Minister.

With the Canadian submarines out of action I guess the USA has to protect Canada...as usual.

They probably didn’t have enough diversity in their welding staff.
