Aboutime is a Navy man thru and thru. Can not blame him for his pride in the Navy and its greatness. I know he has vast amount of knowledge on that score. I am speaking of the damage Obama as CiC can do to any of our military branches and I fully expect he will concentrate on weakening our Navy because he likely has agreed to at China's behest! Let's not miss how the bastard works against us and for our enemies! Anybody still deluded enough not to understand that China is our enemy I feel sorry for yet some are still that ffing deluded.. Aboutime knows all this and more however he is not about to agree to anything that downgrades the Navy, the Navy he so proudly and dutifully served his career in! Hell, I don't blame him for that. He is right about the awesome might of our Navy(!) but Obama can change that in a relatively short time ! I fully expect bamboy to do just that ! Hell, I salute both you guys for your sacrifice, service and patriotism... You guys are owed a debt this nation can never pay IMHO.... -Tyr

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) -- The Navy has decided to scrap the USS Miami instead of repairing the nuclear-powered submarine because of budget cuts accompanied by growing costs of repairing damage from a fire set by a civilian worker at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, officials said Tuesday.
Rear Adm. Rick Breckenridge, director of undersea warfare, said repairing the Groton, Conn.-based sub would have meant canceling work on dozens of other ships because of new budget constraints.
He said that would've hurt the Navy's overall readiness.
"The Navy and the nation simply cannot afford to weaken other fleet readiness in the way that would be required to afford repairs to Miami," Breckenridge said in a statement.
Inspections revealed a significant number of components in the torpedo room and auxiliary machinery room would require replacement, further driving up the repair costs for the USS Miami. The Navy originally said it planned to repair the submarine but the discovery of additional damage raised the cost, originally estimated to be about $450 million.
A shipyard worker, Casey James Fury, of Portsmouth, N.H., was sentenced to 17 years in prison after admitting he set fire to the Miami, which was in dry dock during a 20-month overhaul at the Kittery shipyard. It took 12 hours and the efforts of more than 100 firefighters to save the Los Angeles-class attack submarine. Seven people were hurt.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BYE, BYE --ONE NUKE SUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--Tyr
