Or Boris and Natasha.
Second time we’ve seen this today. They don’t explain what they mean by ‘intentional’ - whether it was outright sabotage, or cutting costs and time, or what.

either that or “new arrivals”?
what country did they migrate in from?
the Phoenicians were great ship builders.
“”faulty welds on non-critical components””
Can’t expect them to say “critical” components....
Right, throw the workers under the bus. What is intentional is low balling contracts and hiring inexperienced workers, in this case, welders, chosen by MBA managers, to do the jobs at the lowest rates possible. Meantime, the CEO makes 1000x as much as the highest paid worker. Government contractors are about as high on my list as politicians these days.
“I have a suspicion DEI and Tranny’s were involved.”
Sounds more like Union Tactics to me. Obvious solution is to OUTLAW the unions.
In any case, if our navy vessels are no safer than the Titan Sub, is it really a good idea to go toe-to-toe against China and Russia (maybe at the same time)?
Built by woke, It’ll be broke.
It’s caused by a national enemy, a disgruntled employees and occasionally by an angry labor union.
Occam’s razor meets Follow the Money
Cutting costs for greater profits.
if they can prove intention, then the perpetrators should be charged with sabotage ... period ...
I recently was purchasing an item on the Marketplace, and the seller was an immigrant from China. He worked in Washington DC, as a software engineer for a government contractor and his wife worked in a pharmaceutical research facility.
My first thought upon meeting them was that they were both Chinese spies. They were both young, very intelligent, and all their education was in China before coming here. Both had advanced degrees, and no children.
Most Chicom welders can’t read directions in English…
Diversity is our strength!
Or, maybe not. It may just be our nation’s undoing.
Guess there is no QA until after the fact!
multi-billion-dollar Naval vessels
my first thought as well
During WWII shipyard welders that slugged welds were executed. Paid by the inch of weld and thickness
Any one such as the Chinese would have reason to put people in place to do this.
Aren’t welders still required to put the stamp on their work?
They did when I worked in power plants and steel fabrication plants.
Important Welds were also X-rayed to see if they met the requirements.
