The U.S. Navy is grappling with persistent mechanical failures and delays across its fleet, from Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) to larger vessels like the USS Iwo Jima and USS Boxer, both of which have been plagued by breakdowns.

    Lots of money being spent on overhyped projects that either fail to deliver, cheap upgrades that overrun costs so badly they were never the affordable option, and the actual new stuff that works never sees completion.

    Where have I seen these patterns before…

    the vessel was conducting training operations in preparation for her next deployment, when the flattop suffered an undisclosed mechanical mishap and had to be returned to port with the assistance of multiple tugs.

    Is this from the sketch about “the front falling off”?
