    A civilian contractor started a fire during a refit last may. Today it was announced that the boat will not be repaired.



    Does this count as a loss or a decommissioning? Wiki are putting it down as a loss as she was scheduled to make at least 5 more deployments.

    n 23 July 2012 a civilian employee Casey J. Fury, was charged and confessed to starting the fire in order to "get out of work early". Fury admitted to setting the 23 May fire, having ignited some rags on the top bunk of a bunk room.[8][9][10][11] Fury was sentenced to over 17 years in federal prison and ordered to pay $400 million in restitution.[12]]

    How could a person working on a nuclear powered submarine be that stupid? Mind you if he can afford 400 million i might apply for a job there:D

    He's very lucky that the USA is not currently engaged in a sea war, else he could be getting the death penalty.

    I don't agree with the death penalty, but he has a point. Aside from the national security implications, arson is one step away from attempted murder of potentially many people.

    i think tac was implying that it would be more along the lines of treason, to intentionally damage a warship in time of war when she is needed at sea.


    EDIT: Had wrong quote in there first.
