The Defense Department's top watchdog wants to analyze whether the Navy's newest fleet of maritime surveillance aircraft is fully ready to hunt and track submarines near Europe, nearly seven years after achieving operational readiness in 2013.
In a letter sent to the service as well as U.S. European Command, the Inspector General's Office this week said it will begin a fact-finding investigation to determine "whether the readiness of U.S. Navy's P-8 Poseidon aircraft fleet meets the anti-submarine warfare requirements of [EUCOM]."
