24 Navy Ships Went to the Shipyard for Repairs. Only 3 Made It Back to Sea on Time

Were our ships sabotaged

In the same time frame, work on six of 10 ships in Mayport was completed on schedule, and work on four of seven ships in San Diego was done on time, according to the report. The Navy calls time spent in the yards for repairs and maintenance "CNO availabilities," referring to the chief of naval operations.

Anons what was that Whidbey island situation, this caught my attention? Wasn’t it 2017

The report cited an example of the dock landing ship Whidbey Island, which went in for repairs at the Norfolk yard on Aug. 21, 2017. The planned completion date was May 11, 2018, but the work was not completed until more than a year later on Dec. 18, 2019, it said

In contrast to continuing schedule delays, the Navy has done much better on lowering costs through a new contracting procedure called the Multiple Award Contract-Multi Order (MAC-MO) approach for ship maintenance work, begun in 2015.

Under MAC-MO, the Navy has increased competition opportunities, gained flexibility to ensure quality of work, and limited cost growth, the GAO said.

I’d say they are getting too much money abc wasting it; or abusing it. Perhaps we should look into the books?

VA Says it Won’t Stop Use of Unproven Drug on Vets for Now

the fuckers even have the military concerned

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing growing criticism, the Department of Veterans Affairs said Friday that it will not halt use of an unproven malaria drug on veterans with COVID-19 but that fewer of its patients are now taking it

Still, it acknowledged that VA Secretary Robert Wilkie had wrongly asserted publicly without evidence that the drug had been shown to benefit younger veterans. The VA, the nation’s largest hospital system, also agreed more study was needed on the drug and suggested its use was now limited to extenuating circumstances, such as last-ditch efforts to save a coronavirus patient’s life.

In the first week of May, 17 patients had received the drug for COVID-19, according to VA data obtained by the AP. The department declined to say how many patients had been treated with hydroxychloroquine for the coronavirus since January, but a recent analysis of VA hospital data showed that hundreds of veterans had taken it by early April.

“VA has not endorsed nor discouraged the use of hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 patients and has left those decisions to providers and their patients,” the VA said. “While all drugs have the potential for adverse events and some drugs in particular, like hydroxychloroquine, are known to have specific risks, when they are used carefully and judiciously, they can be managed safely.”

In responses provided to Congress and obtained by The Associated Press, the VA said it never “encouraged or discouraged” its government-run hospitals to use hydroxychloroquine on patients even as President Donald Trump heavily promoted the drug for months without scientific evidence of its effectiveness.

As of Friday, 11,883 veterans had been confirmed to be infected with the virus and 985 had died, according to VA statistics.

Responding to written questions from Sen. Jon Tester, the top Democrat on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, the department admitted it had no studies or evidence to back up Wilkie’s claim that hydroxychloroquine had shown effectiveness in younger veterans in particular.

“The use of hydroxychloroquine for COVID has dropped off dramatically,” the VA said.

Trump repeatedly has pushed the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine with or without the antibiotic azithromycin, but no large, rigorous studies have found them safe or effective for COVID-19, and they can cause heart rhythm problems and other side effects The Food and Drug Administration has warned against the drug combination and said hydroxychloroquine should only be used for the coronavirus in formal studies.
