What You Need to Know: Recent reports have revealed that poor welds were found on more than two dozen U.S. Navy vessels. Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro informed lawmakers about potential deficiencies identified by Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) – Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS). While the welds are not on components affecting ship safety or operations, the Navy is reviewing welds on approximately 23 vessels to assess the degree of deficiency through a joint-by-joint analysis.

So, the biggest threat the US Navy is the American Government's bad economic, national security, and procurement policies; incompetence; lack of oversight; and lack of accountability.

The biggest threat to America is its own Government policies and chowderhead Congressmen.

While I am sure many would fall under the penumbra, ...and TRAITORS (for whatever reason).

When I worked summers in college, fitting structural steel for Ingalls, to get an offer to move up to the shipyards was an honor (not to mention a nice raise). Guys on a career track worked for that.
