CNO Richardson Incriminates Himself
CNO Richardson just issued the most self-incriminating statement imaginable. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) just issued a report on the submarine maintenance problems. (1)
… a recent Government Accountability Office report that found the Navy has lost more than $1.5 billion and thousands of operational days over the past decade due to attack submarines caught in maintenance delays or sitting idle while awaiting an availability. (1)
Soak up those numbers … $1.5 BILLION and THOUSANDS of operational days lost !!!!!!!!!!!
Did you catch how long it’s been going on? - From the quote, ‘over the past decade’.
CNO Richardson’s reaction?
Richardson, in a media call on Thursday during his Thanksgiving visit to USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), told USNI News that he found “no surprises in that report. Every bit of information in that is information we’re very, very aware of. (1)
So, CNO Richardson, you have a massive, massive problem facing the fleet, you weren’t surprised by any of it, and you’ve been “very, very aware” of it? So what in the hell have you been doing about it besides sitting on your ass? Talk about dereliction of duty! This is incompetence on a massive scale.
CNO Richardson’s statement is about as self-incriminating an indictment of his incompetence as is possible to imagine.
What does the GAO have to say about the Navy’s pathetic efforts?
The Navy has started to address challenges related to workforce shortages and facilities needs at the public shipyards. However, it has not effectively allocated maintenance periods among public shipyards and private shipyards that may also be available to help minimize attack submarine idle time.
So, even after a decade or more, the Navy’s effort at a solution is feeble and ineffective.
Why does CNO Richardson still have a job?
