I really wish they would stop doing that to our boats...it can't be healthy...

Latest scuttle is that it'll be 3-4 hours before they can get her moved and it's the rudder that's stuck.

Really not the sort of thing that you want happening right after the budget cuts, particularly not to a brand new sub that's not even in proper service yet!

I'll bet Nelson is doing a facepalm right now.
