The United States Navy’s brand new combat ship, the Milwaukee, broke down on Friday and had to be towed for emergency repair. This happened just three weeks after commissioning and several days of propulsion system problems. While they haven’t specified exactly what those problems are, many are blaming it on haste, an overblown budget and concerns over the warship’s ability to survive actual combat.
According to the Navy Times, The USS Milwaukee was heading towards its homeport in San Diego when it suffered the engineering failure. It was traveling from Halifax, and planned to stop at Mayport, FL, before making the final trek home.
It was towed more than 40 nautical miles by a salvage ship called Grapple to the joint Expeditionary Base in Little Creek, VA, where it now waits to find out the cause of the failure so that repairs can be carried out. The question on everybody’s mind now, is what exactly happened?
105 retired admirals have already warned us of this.

Do your research. The Sgt at Arms cannot arrest the POTUS unless he breaks the rules on the congressional floor.
So military,do something about it, we knmow what the problem is.
Look this up. He just sold navy shops to Arab 11.5 b Don’t depend on our Military to save us.
Maybe Obama should cancel his vacation and give the money to the Navy for repairs
Shakedown cruises are meant to turn up any problems so I don’t see what all the fuss is about.
they probably have weapons contracts and are loosing money because of it. obama could not do this unless congress would let him so there is no mention of them, they could stop the budget cuts. So when you say obama’s budget cuts without the proposal the route is went through the house, senate and president while ignoring the financial war interest, i feel your just praying on gullible people with propaganda. STOP please, sincerely ~a human
Yet he can afford to go on another expensive vacation on our dollar!!!!!
Let the companies rip us off, raise the military budget!
20 days after Obama swore a lie to become King — that too broke down — still being towed —
Made in Wisconsin.
