| #13 A moment please. First fire on May 16, second fire 2.5 weeks later. Curious how poor security is around such a vessel, considering modern technology and all. I love a good conspiracy theory. |

| #12 Whatta @shole. Have him make 50 runs in a burn trailer, with one out of three has a box of .22s randomly placed. Gear is rated, so should be just a friendly scare, rather than, you know, charging a powder room on a structure specifically designed not to vent. |

| #11 People like this need to be put against a wall at the back of the base and shot. |

| #10 I understand he's a civie, but the standards of conduct around nukes [vessels or weapons] should be exactly the same for the consequences on display. No disagreement here, P2K. Makes one wonder how this nimrod got a naval shipyard job in the first place...maybe the dirtbag nephew of a union official? |

| #7 Just for the record, this clown is a sand crab (civilian yard worker), not a sailor. With fewer than half the ships vs. my own time in the service, the Navy's a hell of a lot more selective in who it allows to enlist and to remain in service. In my day, a DUI out in town meant the offending squid plea-bargained the citation down to reckless driving and paid Jerry Brown's treasury a few hundred bucks, with little or nothing said by the chain of command. Nowadays, it means an admin discharge, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars. |

| #6 Taking meds around a nuke sub? I'm sure the weapons had been removed, but basic security issues should have been in effect disallowing anyone on med's in or around the vessel. Fundamental lesson why on display. |

| #3 Wow. What an asshole. And fell for the old trick during the lie detector. He'd be a free man if he'd have just shut up. What an asshole. |
