If they’d refueled them instead they may even still be in service I'm not a rocket scientist, but creating the idea of a CGN without a functional way of refueling them seems less than ideal.

The CGNs were refueled several times in their careers, until they weren't. They were shitcanned rather than refit for Aegis (though this was discussed a lot) because of operating costs, both materiel and personnel.

Which this fuckstick doesn't know because his lawyers are F-tier dogshit. Either that or the blubbering idiot doesn't listen to his lawyers, which wouldn't be a surprise or a first, either. Also NPR said its somewhat rare for first time offenders to get jail time for E felonies so its unlikely he'll see any jail.

There's ways to refuel them but refueling happens like 2-3 times at most in the ships lifespan, and at that point you are probably refurbishing large portions of the machine room anyways so splitting open the hull is normal.

I've heard a few times that he may get probation and I just don't see that working. With his toddler-level oppositional defiant approach to everything there are absolutely no probation terms he could have placed on him that he wouldn't openly defy out of spitefulness specifically to be further contemptuous of the entire prospect of him being held to account on something.

How does probation work if he gets convicted of other felonies? Do they just say, "oh well, you can get off this time since those crimes were committed before we put you on probation?" Or do they just finally recognize he had zero respect for the law and take action?

My understanding is that yesterday's convictions will be considered for sentencing in future trials, but only crimes committed after sentencing in the current trial would affect the terms of his probation. These are the terms of NY's probation for what it's worth, though my guess is that the courts waive the travel and employment conditions, or rubber stamp exemptions. https://www.nyep.uscourts.gov/html/conditions_of_probation.html e: lol, just caught the prohibition on interacting with other felons. That means trump can't (legally) communicate with a bunch of his advisors. If anyone bothers to enforce that, of course. AreWeDrunkYet fucked around with this message at 22:34 on May 31, 2024 |

CommieGIR posted:Bring back the nuclear cruisers. If they came back, they wouldn't need refueling, the newest cores they're putting in Virginias pack crazy amounts of fuel in, and they're good for a solid 40+ years of operation. The big thing that'll keep CGNs from ever coming back is maintenance, the maintenance costs on a CGN would be ruinous compared to a Burke, and the Navy's already struggling to maintain all their nuke boats with limited yard capacity, see Boise rotting by the pier for 7 years waiting for a berth. Would have been nice to have a CGN escort on our way home from Guam, instead of a destroyer that has to stop for gas every 5 minutes though.

I would assume if we had non-CV nuclear surface assets, they wouldn't have BRACed that east coast shipyard. But then again Congress and Big Navy so they probably would've still done it

Elviscat posted:If they came back, they wouldn't need refueling, the newest cores they're putting in Virginias pack crazy amounts of fuel in, and they're good for a solid 40+ years of operation. How does the cost of refueling every few decades compare with with burning a thousand or so gallons an hour of gas just to idle, and double that moving (publicly published numbers for the Burkes)? If it's out of port even half of its lifetime, that's 50-100 million gallons of gas per decade, or $150-300m at current wholesale prices. If the nuclear option has to be refueled every 30 years, does a refit + refuel of a nuclear destroyer actually cost half a billion to a billion dollars more than just a refit of a gas turbine ship? I don't see how nuclear isn't cheaper.

Even if they're close on price, shortening the logistics chain by not having to get that fuel to them and always having to have more available is a hell of a savings and pretty useful if balloons go up.

Yes yes yes but I think a lot of y'all are still vastly underestimating how difficult and expensive it is to run nukes at sea. There's many many reasons why there are only a handful (~160) of nuclear powered ships in the world.

I don't see how nuclear isn't cheaper. It's better than break-even for carriers, but the Navy can't get enough people to operate and maintain its current fleet, so growing out a fleet of small boys might be pretty close to impossible without massive and expensive changes to how to Navy operates (like maybe treating nukes like human beings)

He's basically single-handedly responsible for the bad legal advice that got Donnie indicted for the classified documents in his shitters. quote:Trump time and again rejected the advice from lawyers and advisers who urged him to cooperate and instead took the advice of Tom Fitton, the head of the conservative group Judicial Watch, and a range of others who told him he could legally keep the documents and should fight the Justice Department, advisers said. Trump would often cite Fitton to others, and Fitton told some of Trump’s lawyers that Trump could keep the documents, even as they disagreed, the advisers said. He's also not a lawyer!
