1) I do a lot of walking and eschew the elevators unless I'm carrying equipment.
2) My company offers free memberships to local gyms, and the local YMCA is 2 blocks away, and I stop there on my way to work, 3-5 times a week. A 30 min workout + sauna / hot tub works well.
I'm not disputing that. Head will role, if and when it is determined that heads will roll. However, to attempt to blindly accelerate the process in advance of pertinent information is not called for.
Refer to my previous comment: You don't have the training to understand what happened here. I served on a 688-boat, as well as several other posters here. Debating the realities with us just makes you look like an ass. When you've "been there, done that, got the t-shirt" then you can step up and we can swapno-shitters. Until, sit down, shut up, and let the people that know what's going on get the bottom of this.
There are only two internal compartments on a 688 boat. Engine room is one of them, and everything else is in the other one. There is no internal compartmentation as it existed in the earlier boats.
It's not that no one cares, it's just that you don't have the background and training to understand the realities of this scenario. And those of us who do, don't care that you care.
Rather than sitting back and wait for the analysis to see exactly what happened here, you appear to be fixated on assigning blame out the gate.
In the forward section of a 688-boat, there are 3 water-tight (and air tight) hatches. Forward escape trunk, weapons-loading hatch, and the hatch leading to the engine room. All of the internal doors are privacy / sound, not for water / air-tightness.
(for all you other bubbleheads here, yes, I know there's actually 4 water-tight hatches in the forward compartment, but I don't think the washing machine is relevant to this topic)
I played with Red Hat back in the day and had Fedora 11 on my spare laptop, just cuz. But mostly I used Windows, occasionally a Mac. Everything I am about to say is filtered through that lens....
I was used to Gnome 2 on Fedora 11. It was similar enough to the windows and mac ui so that I could get around it very easily. When I installed Fedora 16 and used Gnome 3.x, I had to struggle to find things. Gnome Shell Extension allowed me to put back the features I liked from Gnome 2, while keeping the clean look of 3. I just would like to see GSE as a standard install item, not an add-on
But that's based on two different events. It'd be more accurate to say that he flew over ~11% of a defined area, and on one day he saw four (4) bears swimming. On another day, he flew over ~11% of a different area, and saw 3 dead bears floating. He extrapolated that to 36 bears swimming, and 27 bears floating dead, without making any conclusions or suggesting a relationship between the two events.
The difference between your statement and mine is exactly what the investigators had trouble with.
Military doesn't know how to handle nuclear power safely?
I'd like to point out the 9 nuclear powered cruisers, 11 nuclear powered aircraft carriers, and 188 nuclear powered submarines that the US Navy has operated for the last 56 years. 264 reactors (Cruisers and aircraft carries have multiple reactors, as well as the submarine USS Triton) in all. The CENTURIES worth of experience with running them I take as pretty convincing proof that nuclear power can be safe.
I run 4 D-Link DNS-321's, two with 2x 1 Tb drives, and 2 with 2x 2Tb drives, all in a RAID 1.
I have 6tb (soon 8 as I finish the next round of upgrades) with redundancy. With a GbE I can run video to all the PC's in the house, both Windows and Linux.
Each case represents about $300 of hardware, so it's not dirt cheap, but you can build up to it, and add on to it fairly easily.
They don't deny nuclear powered vessels. They deny nuclear armed vessels. And since it's the policy of they US Navy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons on board their warships, NZ denies access to US Navy warships.
"Braking systems have this thing called a brake booster. When the throttle plate isn't fully opened, the engine creates vacuum. The vacuum pressure is supplied to the brake booster, which has a diaphram inside. When vacuum is present, the booster assists the brake pedal making it easier to depress.
When the car is at WOT (wide open throttle), there is no vacuum and therefore no brake assist. On a turbo charged car, there is positive pressure at WOT (though there should be a check valve in the vacuum line). If you put positive pressure in the brake booster, you get the opposite effect, and you're not going to stop the car "
Check again. Brakes on all modern cars are a power-assist unit that runs off the engine vacum. At redline (which these cases were), there is practically no vacum, so all you have is the pure mechanical linkage, which is no where near enough to stop a vechicle at that velocity.

a) This was not his normal vehical, but a rental unit while his was in the shop. b) This car did not have a key-in-the-ignition switch, but a push-button start. Instructions say you have to push the switch in for 3-4 seconds to emergency-kill the engine. But how many people go over the manual of arental? c) To change out of Drive on most automatics these days, you have to apply the brakes to engage the clutch bands, then you can physically move the shifter to the N position. But, brakes are a vacum assist feature, and at MAX RPMs, there is little to no engine vacum, and thus, little or no brakes. And that's not assuming that such a shift isn't overridden by faulty electronics.
Hey, I live out in the boonies of the midwest, smack dab in between Denver and Chicago. I've never had a letter take more than three days to get to me. A UPS package, via Ground, takes 5 working days.
Passive sonar, decent stuff at least, is ALWAYS a towed array. Gets the hydrophones away from the ships hull, reducing self noise. That said, I'm not sure exactly which types of vessels carry a towed passive array... destroyers, cruisers, frigates, but i think that's about it. Plus the helo-dropped sonar bouys.
As for as potential enemy capabilities compared to ours, I'm not at liberty to comment one way or the other
The thing of it is, submarines don't use, and don't need a super-powerful active sonar.
This is for surface vessels ("targets" in bubblehead vernacular) searching for subs, not subs hunting each other.
These hyper powerful sonar systems are for surface vessels to locate submarines that may be in the vicinity. When you get into costal areas, the noise of the surf, the temperature gradients (from the shallow bottoms) and the salinity gradients from the fresh water from the rivers, plays havoc with normal sound transmission.
This massive system is used to plow through all that, and still return a signal clear enough to spotlight the sub lurking around the area.
Ironically, my experience had been just the opposite.
