Bloomberg: Delays on $161 Billion Virginia-Class Subs Reaches 15 Months

* Average delay of 10.5 months is up from seven-month estimate
* General Dynamics and Huntington Ingalls cite improvements

The Navy’s newest Virginia-class submarines are expected to be 10 to 15 months late as contractors General Dynamics Corp. and Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. try to recover from assembly faults that have dogged recent boats in the $161 billion program.

The average delay of 10.5 months is an increase from a seven-month average cited in March by the Naval Sea Systems Command for 10 vessels being built under a 2014 contract, according to a comparison of dates in Navy budget documents. The contractors, rival shipbuilders who are producing the submarines together, had sought to shave months off of previous construction periods.

161bn among friends, come on, wnu that's nothing



Entire new virgina class program:
USD 161,000,000,000 << wow!


Money lost at the Pentagon (the number they are willing to admit they lost):
USD 5,000,000,000,000 << nice.

With the money lost at the pentagon, you could buy 30 Virginia programs and have some change left.

You could rule the oceans 30 times over. But hey.. that would require transparency at the Pentagon and that's a no, no.

Nice though. At least some sports car dealers profit from all of this.

Good luck, ya'll :D

How do their responses compare? // 1) US intelligence determines Russia is helping both Trump and Bernie Sanders; 2) Sanders tells Russia to fuck off; 3) Trump, who literally asked Russia for help, attacks US intelligence, which he has been overseeing for the past three years.

US intel has an un-elected cabal trying for a palace coup.

Comp[are and contrast

the FBI & VIA to the praetorian guard

The president to the emperor


How come Mifsud was interviewed by the FBI and there is no 302. How come Mueller lied about it?
