On August 7 of last year, Rick Sieber, his son Erin, Michele Naar-Obed, and Amy Moose entered the naval shipyard in Newport News, Virginia, disguised as workers and proceeded to symbolically disarm the USS Greenville, first-strike nuclear submarine, by hammering on its missile launch tubes. They poured baby bottles of their own blood on the hatches and spread out pictures of atomic bombing victims, mostly children, from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Then, instead of escaping, they alerted shipyard personnel. The Greenville has 12 missile tubes designed for Tomahawk cruise missiles. If nuclear-tipped, each is the equivalent, conservatively estimated, of 11 Hiroshima-type bombs. Simultaneously, on the West Coast Fr. Steve Kelly and Susan Crane carried out a similar action on Trident missile components at the Lockheed Martin plant in Sunnyvale, California. Both groups are members of the Plowshares movement

This says a great deal about security in this installation. I take for granted the agent provocateur role of dedicated communists like these 'activists,' but I am seriously disturbed by these security lapses.

I guess Richard Marchenko's (sp) books about his Seal Team's testing and proving that security sucks at these bases seems to be confirmed by this report.
