I guarantee the DEI hire Command Master Chief Samira McBride had something to do with it…

Edit
This could’ve easily been a test run for another USS Cole bombing….

Why didnt the Gatling guns go brrrrrrt?

Heads need to roll.

We could’ve had a nuclear reactor and munitions sitting on the ocean bottom.
I know not likely with the training and redundancies, but who knows what was on that “happy merchant vessel”…. Suitcase nuke?
