#1 These are a bit more expensive but they don't need to submerge to go undetected. Problem is we'll be borrowing money from the Chicoms so we can send these bad boys to patrol the coast of China.

#2 Yeah, but a lousy vacuum cleaner in a naval shipyard can still burn them to the bottom of the hull.
Shipyard and insurers should pay dearly!

#5 I'll go on record saying to scrap it and put the 400 million to other navy work. The senators from Maine want to repair it. I wonder why?
