Did the designers also work on the F-35? The B-1?

How could they not know the operating temperature range of interest, when every engineer in any navy knows the temperature range, and is constantly reminded of temperature either by SVP graphs or by hourly seawater intake temperature readings? A professional would design either for a seawater pump capacity sufficient to cool everything even when in the Persian Gulf or at least with a supplemental pump to take up the slack when the ship is in the Gulf.

Didn’t anybody stop to think that these boats are “ocean going” and would run into warm waters?

I wonder if they have any of the original four-stackers we sent them left?

Don’t laugh too hard, many of our older nukes had this problem.

Gas turbines, eh?
For a moment I thought they might have lost vacuum in the condenser, but that would be a lack of suck.
Oh well, ...
