It really doesn't surprise me. I spent a good 18 months in Newport News when my carrier was being built (USS Ronald Reagan CVN 76). Most of these "yard birds" are shit bags! For being a brand new ship, we had some real issues with things and had to be finished once we completed our homeport change to San Diego.

This man needs to be taken down to test depth and then shot out the tube. |

Considering the possible outcome of his lack of work and being a worthless ass he should have gotten more time. I don't care if he is a first time offender since many brave sailors could have been hurt or killed thanks to this asshole. I think maybe a nice blindfolded visit by a bunch of naval recruits would do wonders for his outlook and understanding of the magnitude of his crime.

As a CWI and someone who has made a career for himself as a weld inspector. Reading this kind of stuff pisses me off. |

Union worker? What do you think? Piece of shit. Where is the work ethic any more?

He just didn't care that he was possibly subjecting the lives of over 100 men to a horrible crushing death. If there was a way to send him down to test depth in a vessel with defective welding, that would be a suitable punishment. |

Quoted: Union worker? Precisely my thoughts as well. Now, the only thing I cannot pinpoint in my mind is: Was he smoking weed, drinking, or napping instead of welding? DP |

Ok, I have witnessed certified NDT (magnetic testing, penetrate testing, and ultrasound testing, as well as Xray testing, but you can't really watch that
 ) on Newport torpedo tubes and other submarine stuff as well as T beams for aircraft carries. I've done it too, not that hard, but why on earth somebody would not inspect welds is beyond me. Nothing more nerve racking than grinding a weld on a torpedo tube that cutting too deep on requires letters to Washington to weld repair. You don't fuck up Newport, That shit is too expensive to fuck up. |

Man, Shipyards....
We hated shipyard in part because of the workers. Nothing like going into a tight area and seeing yard apes laying inbetween frames asleep on port and starboard sides. Nothing like seeing Hawaiian slang marked in pen on refurbished components. There were only two shipyard groups at PHNSY with their act together - the Non-nuke shift test engineers and the welders. The STE's were longtime shipyard employees with hard earned expereience and common sense, and the hull welders planned, prepared, and were damned good welders. |

Buddy of mine was a welder in a shipyard in Miami . They used to take waste in 55 gallon drums and dump it in the ocean. He called the EPA , The boss called him in the office and played the tape , he was fired 3 weeks later .
