Man torches $400 million nuke sub; Navy's budget struggles for air - CNN.com

Casey James Fury simply didn't want to be at work, and in the process cost the Navy nearly a half-billion dollars and one attack submarine.

Fury admitted to setting fire to the USS Miami, a nuclear sub, in May 2012 while it was in dry dock. He was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison in March and ordered to pay $400 million in restitution -- roughly the cost of the damage.

The Navy won't see anything close to that amount from Fury, of course, but neither will it from Uncle Sam.

On Tuesday, the Navy announced that despite the demand for attack submarines being "as strong as ever," the Miami is being inactivated. The reason: Under sequestration, the federal government's forced budget cuts, the Navy simply can't afford to make the repairs.

"The type of damage was unlike anything we'd seen in recent memory," Rear Admiral Richard Breckenridge, director of undersea warfare, said on a Navy Live blog post. "The anticipated scope of work is four times greater than any previous submarine repair due to damage," the post continued.

These people cost us $7 Trillion, 4 dead Americans at Benghazi and 1 US Border Guard, used the IRS against American citizens who in their paranoia they've labeled "enemies" and are using the NSA to monitor all emails and phone calls

How ironic -
Some anti-military Liberal torches a sub
The sub can't get repaired becuase of budget cuts by our anti-military Liberal Commander in Chump, Black Jimmy.

He is lucky I wasn't the Judge doing the sentencing because he would gotten 50yrs hard labor with No parole instead of just 17yrs.........

Seems like an act of terrorism. 17 years is too light

True.....plus people could have easily been killed by the fire or subsequent explosions. ..

We do know that if Mr Fury was a Muslim he would be sitting in Gitmo right now

Could have, but didn't. I think 17 years is appropriate. That's a long, long time to be locked away.

The guy is clearly guilty of sabotage. Did the do-nothing HLS search his home and computer for possible evidence of a sabotage network or they too busy feeling up little old ladies at airports?

 

[Mad Scientist]

You should be happy Opie! That's one less Weapon of War for the US to menace the world with right?

Oh I forgot, a Democrat is President. You guys are Pro-Military now.

Nope. They are phasing out LA class anyway, replacing with Virginia class.

The Miami just went to front of the line.

The Navy tends to like submarines for some reason, can you explain why I should be worried enough about them to demand that the government stop the fake budget cuts?

Give a little less away to Israel and the navy will soon have the thing full of seaman.
Actually, it would be a lot like the American population's bum but that's full of semen because America is always getting bum fucked by Israel.

Surface ships are vulnerable to attack. For some reason they are easy to spot.

Submarines are even more vulnerable, which is why we don't have hundreds of them. The only real purpose a fast attack sub has is to serve as a defense against enemy ballistic subs.

Did you know modern subs are noisier than WWII era boats?

He'd have to be bloody thin.
Our bed isn't a traditional western style, more Asian so there are no legs, more an Empress size, very high quality mattress on the floor.

However, that fact remains; if you stopped a little of the free arms you give to Israel, you could easily afford to repair your submarine.
