Anyone remembers the SSN thresher?.

An SSN submarine that was supposedly lost with all hands in an swift implosion?.
The U.S continued the narrative she imploded after passing crush depth when they lost Depth Control.
There was even testified in hearings/court this was the truth.

Turns out, At least some of Thresher's crew survived for an while after they lost depth control.

An 50 year old report was released from the Navy today, after the initial incident there where still survivors on board trying to communicate to the U.S navy submarine that searched for her.
I found the original file its 600 pages long, from page 120 to 130 there is the ship's log from USS Seawolf that found Tresher trying to communicate.

San Diego Navy captain 1st woman to command nuclear aircraft carrier

August 24, 2021, by Fatima Bahtić


Captain Amy Bauernschmidt has taken command of the nuclear aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln becoming the first woman to lead an aircraft carrier in the US Navy history.

The change of command ceremony took place on 19 August 2021 on the flight deck.

Bauernschmidt is a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who previously commanded amphibious transport dock USS San Diego (LPD 22) and Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 70.

“There is no more humbling sense of responsibility than to know you are entrusted with the care of the people who have chosen to protect our nation,” Bauernschmidt said in a statement.

Amy Bauernschmidt took over the command from Capt. Walt “Sarge” Slaughter, a native of Austin, Texas.

During his 26 months of command, the sailors of Abraham Lincoln completed a 10-month combat deployment to the US 5th Fleet Area of Operations, the largest carrier maintenance package ever completed in San Diego during a planned incremental availability (PIA).

He also successfully led the crew through several at-sea integrated training events in preparation for the Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group’s upcoming deployment.

Slaughter was awarded the Legion of Merit for his superior accomplishments and will report to Commander, Naval Air Forces for his next tour of duty.

USS Abraham Lincoln is home-ported at Naval Air Station North Island.

Aposentadoria meio precoce não é?

[knigh7]

Totalmente.
Acho que a NAVY fez besteira adquirindo os LCS (pelo menos para ela eles se revelaram pouco úteis).

[LM]

É bom que tenham servido, pelo menos, para testar tecnologia... mas desconfio que serviu apenas para gastar dinheiro e perceberem que não vale a pena inventar totalmente a roda (ie mais vale adaptar para "2ªs linhas" algo tipo classe Constellation).

[saullo]

Creio que se a USN tivesse criado uma OHP Batch 2, teria um monte fragatas baratas e fazendo número em todos os oceanos, e gastando bem menos que esses dois projetos esquisitos de LCS.
Foi grana jogada fora.
