The Problem
Poor Naval Shipyard Condition
U.S. Naval Shipyards are well-documented by GAO as being in poor condition as shown in the video below
GAO Report 17-548 documented the following:
Rags are used to capture leaking fluids from outdated, leaky hydraulic presses
Rushed emergency repairs have been required to prevent drydock flooding
About a third of planned ship maintenance over the next 20 years cannot be accomplished
This GAO report led directly to creating the SIOP program, but many consider the 20-year SIOP schedule to be strategically far too long
