      Why are you hoping that they don’t? Given the shenanigans the Iranian navy has been up to, promoting much of it to submersible status would be a good thing.

        Well, to be honest, this was a sarcastic comment to the time the US did accidentally sink more of their navy than intended. (A little more than 1/3 if their operational force.) The original goal was only 4 platforms IIRC. It may have grown a scotch before the end.

        Which probably doesn’t mean much to the sailors. Hind sight being 20/20 and all. Still a bit of an oops.
