So very disturbing. Back when I served in submarines in the 70’s and 80’s, we had over 80 Attack submarines in ADDITION TO the boomer fleet. We only had one enemy then, The Soviet Union. Now the US sub fleet is half the size, with double or triple the enemy sub fleet threat and 40% of the attack boats are OOC? Simply outrageous. Even treasonous in my view. l and yes, ADM Rickover, (with whom I interviewed in 1976) is definitely spinning in his grave. Oh, and we are going to build and sell nuclear submarines to Australia? Right.
