Let me repeat that I'm not trying to put down the RN or its submarines I'm just saying their designs from when Thresher and Scorpion went down were of an older and safer design adapted from the US, also the US was "in the nuc game" longer and thus the UK has had a better record of subs lost. Quote:
As for the Personel issues I don't think anyone in the US Navy knows what their doing when it comes to that. My buddy (an Enlisted sailor) on the Churchill finaly got his next stripe after about 6 months waiting for the proper clearince to take the test. Let me just say for the record if we had a RN orginized crew on an American sub with Russian style weapons built by France it would be unstopable. |
