I hope they are found.

An uglier death I cannot imagine.

 

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

 

I found this post interesting:

Still On Patrol :
During World War II[edit]
During World War II, the U.S. Navy’s submarine service suffered the highest casualty percentage of all the American armed forces, losing one in five submariners.[3] Some 16,000 submariners served during the war, of whom 375 officers and 3131 enlisted men were killed.[4]

Fifty-two submarines of the United States Navy were lost during World War II.[5] Two — Dorado (SS-24 and Seawolf (SS-197)—were lost to friendly fire (with S-26 (SS-131) probably additional friendly fire, as the collision with USS Sturdy (PC-460) appears due to being mistaken for a U-boat), at least two more –Tulibee and Tang—to defective torpedoes, and six to accident or grounding.[6]

Another eight submarines went missing while on patrol and are presumed to have been sunk by Japanese mines, as there were no recorded Japanese anti-submarine attacks in their patrol areas. The other thirty-three lost submarines are known to have been sunk by the Japanese.

you never get me into one of those suffocation chambers.. and we cant even execute murders in prison this way

 

Huston i think i have seen the problem now of why.. was she picked for pc quota reasons
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/1...sent-distress-signals-us-navy-sends-help.html

 

Think about living in a MRI tube 24/7 for months on end. Sub isn't that bad but still metal tube under water for months.......Tales a special breed...

 

1 out of 3 in the whole fleet sunk? why put a female officer on it ?if theirs only 3 you need the best experience guys you can get not to have a mistake

somethings wrong here with this picture is she really a mechanical mind ace..

or a show female recruiting piece for the military
​

 

wait a fricken minute only one hand on the wheel and coffee cup in the other hand

 

So you know only one thing about this submarine - that there was a woman on board - and you conclude that is the reason for what appears to be the tragic loss of this crew?
Do you even know what role she had on board?

 

well i see her with hands on the helm, in a lot of photos so being a officer she could of be in or in that position when the mishap occurred

 

Do we know anything yet?

44 souls.

 

You don't even know what the mishap was!
But you see that one woman was on board and you rush to blame her.
Stop for a moment and think what that says about you.

 

I'd be more concerned if she were Asian.....

 

means i can spot things that you cant..because your into pushing pcness

 

That's not the helm. That's the periscope. The odds of a new recruit's official duty to be on the scope are virtually zero. I have little doubt it's a PC photo op. When women were first allowed to fly in the US Navy, ABC did a puff piece on one of their magazine shows proudly showing women in planes taking off of carriers. What they neglected to say of course, was that the women were not piloting the planes, just passengers. They were making believe they were piloting the planes. When they started to allow women to actually pilot off carriers, they fixed their grades even though they were failing. That led to them crashing, which was covered up and led to a scandal. Why did they allow them to fly off carriers? Because of the tailhook scandal of course. Trying to shut the bitches up.

 

I landed on a carrier.

I'm a civilian pilot.

Lexington.

 

I hope they find this submarine (and everyone is ok.) It is heartbreaking otherwise.

Trucker, I like a lot of what you post and the extra information and photographs you always seem to dig up, but I think you are crossing a line to try and blame this whole thing on a woman simply because she's a woman. Everyone on that submarine could die (or be dead already).....your posts right now are really rubbing me the wrong way.

I hope as well.

 

whats your evidence that women arent as good as men at submarining?

 

I suppose you also blame Chrystal for Challenger?

 

shes a polish jew? Krawczyk

ok lets be serious women tend to follow the book to rigidly
men can think outside the box if needed during a
emergency more in decision making

 

Odd memory.

My aunts funeral. We were watching the launch at the funeral home.

 

You may be right about 'out of the box thinking' but women on average perform better under pressure than men (multitasking).

But then again, men can multitask (if not as good as women) just like women are creative (if not as good as men). I think it rather disingenuous to be able to diffinitively claim thst one is better than the other to a high enough degree to warrant discrimination.
