Can't remember the last time the Navy actually lost a commissioned warship outside of war.

There was a submarine that some yard worker set on fire in New Hampshire I think. And there was a minesweeper ran around in the Philippines. They wrote both of those off.

The sub incident wasn’t that lobg ago, either.

An assault ship, a sub, a minesweeper, and a couple of mangled destroyers in recent memory. Oof-dah.
