2. Not watched the video yet
   But this sounds like either the issue the nazis had and/or a boeing situation.
   Meaning using your employies as slaves and working them to death.

3. Could be educational ? Some Experienced builders are not happy with the young. College is teaching students things which aren’t except able on site. Builders are having to re-educate people on site. As well as being told they have to use weaker and cheaper materials, due to cutting costs. A few years ago a carrier caught on fire 🔥 It’d been re-fitted with flammable materials from China. Gov … goes to China Made in China.

4. Airplanes now ships. American made will be under Chinese quality. Every way "they" can destroy the country is being done.

5. This sounds more like laziness and indifference.

6. . Popularizing it now when ships are in operation may have hidden target. All important welds had to be x ray tested and indpendently approved by test company and confirmed by classification. during building

7. That’s bad workmanship ,nothing else

8. You can’t bar that shipyard. It is one of only two where submarines are built ant the only one where aircraft carriers are built.

9. So was it sabotage or just a lazy person

10. Not sabotage Just stupide and lazy american workers

11. Definitely criminal.

12. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ WTF

13. Perhaps you should check the things you buy

14. Capitalism is a race to the bottom.

15. I wouldn’t classify this as sabotage, since there wasn’t a clear intent to destroy anything.

    There was just a clear case of workers skipping steps to be ahead of schedule or complete on their task list, plus this is a welding issue where (it is very precise in the aviation field, in the Naval field it should be similarly rigorous if it’s not but at least on the Military side you can trace welds back to specific individuals at least from an airframe,
    The scale with welding on a ship is absolutely something different though , but we’re talking about individual teams which were responsible for different components of assembly most likely, so you at least had one team or maybe more than 1 on a specific component area of the ship, and you have civilian mind you, workers skipping steps, the work force culture when it comes to following things like regulations and blueprints can be a bit lax at times,

    Internally, you could also have a case where the welders are saying “it’s good enough for what it’s doing? Why go to all the extra unnecessary work” if it’s that type of a situation.

16. Sounds like they just hired some lazy workers honestly…

17. I'm so waiting for a whistle-blower to emerge and say otherwise

18. The numbers on efficiency can only be relied on so far. The planers are human, foremen – human, plans and task trees – semi human. Either some pencil pusher had to get the contract accepted or some nerd had to please the boss. You know, that nerd who can't talk to women. And she's a slave driver.

19. DEI hires?

20. Going to take a listen later. But I'm already wondering if this is deliberate sabotage or sabotage through negligence.

21. The use of the word "sabotage" is such click bait…

    The controlled inspection process for QA/QC is what should make welding in compliance. Missing a bolt or poor or incorrect welds is very normal. The bigger question is how they engineered safety factors into it, and then what impact does it have. I'm sure it's boggled down with a certain degree of incompetence, oversight lacking etc. But it's not exactly the crime that's being expressed by the author states.

22. Sounds to me like what happens when you hire the guys from home Depot instead of a real contractor

23. We cant get rid of Newpor newst there the main shipbuilding in America.

    DoJ has gone after cyber contractors.

24. Cheap labor not qualified.

25. You can look at the false claims statistics the DoJ puts out.

    Here is 2023; https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/false-claims-act-settlements-and-judgments-exceed-268-billion-fiscal-year-2023

    Very few are DoD related

26. Corporate integrity and reputation will always take priority over the truth, always follow the money.

27. These companies have people whose job is to watch this work being done And so what you’re saying is, they had their head turned the whole time.

28. It's just lazy welders bro

29. Thanks!

30. During WW2 my father was on convoys and one ship he was on was repaired in US shipyards on the East coast. His ship was sabotaged by Italian shipyard workers who were on Musollini's side. The ship broke down and was towed into Halifax in Canada for repairs and that US shipyard fired all the Italians.

31. The contractor has become a criminal organisation, leadership is not in control, middle management has no clue what they are leading, and a bunch of criminals are at work at the work floor.
    But, Navy leadership is not in control too. They risk the lives of sailors on submarines that spring a massive leak at depth.
    That's criminal negligence.
    How many people are in the military? USA facts: "The military includes 2,079,142 military personnel and 778,539 civilians as of September 2023."
    How many of those are qualified welders? How many can actually do inspections? At the shipyards. When the work is going on. With enough job rotation to prevent Stockholm syndrome.
    It should not be too difficult to lead for six sigma in a lean way at that.
    Not good enough is a gross overstatement.
    Bottom line, this is not about procedures but attitude and culture.

32. If it was not intentional it means they are incompetent. Seems very simple to me. Find who welded the specific parts. Question them. Intensive questioning if necessary. Find the directing party. Deal with them as necessary.

33. I think I know what this is, and have dealt with it. It looks like a contractor was having his material costs covered, but wanted to keep the money but not wanted to spend it would have put down plates and bolts, and then not do all of them, and then bill the government. This is classic fraud, and when I dealt with it we had a co-company whose subcontractor was screwing with the bios so it would read double the RAM placed in it, then sell half of the RAM he ordered. He had bought all the parts necessary, assembled multiple servers properly, then assembled other servers without all the correct parts, and sold the new excess he made.
