And the slippery stealth ship project will only cost $100 billion even though the ship is detectable by radar and it’s prone to sinking. Then the project will delayed and the cost will first balloon to $200 billion. The saga has just begun.

It’ll run into problems when the demanded “VTOL drydocking capability” melts the hull and causes steam explosions to par-broil the crew.

Melts the hull and causes steam explosions to par-broil the crew.

An r/news redditor is ready with an explanation: “Minor technical issues are too be expected with brand new tech. And ‘par-broil’ is a gross exaggeration. Only one crewman had first degree burns and he’s expected to probably survive.”

Look, it’s perfectly normal for a ship to flip upside and aggressively ram the sea floor during normal operations, happens all the time, nothing to make a big deal out of!
