popcorn Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Thank God he didn't have the launch codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangi Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 He has probably saved the US a lot of money as the subs running and maintenance costs would be in the hundreds of millions for the next few years and even thought the Navy is saying they need more subs, in the real world they are a waste of money and resources. Also they have 40 of the Los Angeles class subs so 1 less isn't going to be missed much. PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor.

OutOnTheOP Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 17 years? 17 YEARS? He should be executed. Life without parole, minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyromaniac4002 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Thank God he didn't have the launch codes. Not that kind of "nuke sub." In his confession he said he did it because he wanted to get off of work early.. So, yeah. An entire US Navy Los Angeles class attack submarine written off for one day of extra TV and beer time. Reasonable, right? What an utter bastard. 17 years is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangi Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 ^ with a name like that I thought you would be on his side.....:thumbup: He is obviously a beer short of a six-pack, but how could someone like that get a job and be allowed inside an attack sub unsupervised? Then again have you seen the A-10V video (Hawg wild)....and they let them fly multimillion dollar aircraft... PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor.

Still has TLAMs even though no nuclear ones are still in service. Apparently he had an anxiety attack. One only wonders how anxious he will get during the next 17 years. He was on medication as well LOL, so we should probably be grateful he didn't shoot 30 people as well. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2294158/Casey-Fury-Shipyard-worker-set-submarine-wanted-home-jailed-17-years.html Edited August 10, 2013 by popcorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
