The Navy should be forced to reimburse all government expenditures from their budget made after they knew the truth.

For sure. This is a big hit on their credibility.

I imagine most in that organization are great patriots and don't align with whoever is allowing them to be part of a cover up to protect Biden's political foibles.

Especially since their loss of the USS Thresher occurred in an almost identical implosion during fully manned diving trials in 1963, leaving the TRIESTE bathyscaphe to confirm the results.

Thank you for this word, bathyscaphe, a good one!

That is what the TRIESTE has always been called, FWIW.

It had a fascinating history, including being purchased from its French creators by the US government, and winding up in an American naval museum.

I meant terminal 'e' on bathyscaph

Nope, the bathyscaphe was named after Trieste, a city and seaport in northeastern Italy.

I remember the Thresher. Odd that two large catastrophes happened in that year. A president being assassinated the other one.

Treason is not a catastrophe unless it is recognized as such by an ignorant public at large.

The Village People run the US Navy.

Their covid shot mandates, the hell they put their integrity filled and brave service members through for standing up and refusing their death shots, and woke ridiculous training hit their credibility a couple years ago. This was just the icing on the cake in case anyone was still not quite sure how corrupt the leadership actually is. 😉

The US Navy has a habit of running into things.

They are using a drag queen to boost recruiting.

It's not a hit on their credibility. They couldn't confirm it only suspect it. IT also exposes a gap such as releasing how good our SOSUS network really is.

What if it hadn't imploded and they called off the search and a month later someone came out and found the intact sub with 5 dead people inside?

Whence 'their' budget comes, me humbly wonders 😂

The Pentagon's budget is a classified secret.

Here again we're blessed with press-release from the Department of Bleeding Obvious Things 🤣

ETA Is it your overbearing LLM-buddy who supplies all these deadpan comments‽ Asking for a friend, obvs 😇

Your post contains too many acronyms for it to make sufficient sense for me to respond to.

Here's to aid your [buddy's?] senses: ETA = edited to add; LLM = large language model

Happy to oblige!

Ohh, one more equivalence seems in order: two = too many 🤭

I am going to surrender to the premise that my senses are not up to the challenge of understanding that which they sense to be insensible.

Nice dodge, straight from woke playbook 🤸 To emulate the proper parlance, should I say 'educate yourself, 'tis not my job'‽ 🙃
