From The Navy Times:
Winter remains unsatisfied with LPD 17
quote:Navy Secretary Donald Winter said Monday he “continues to be unsatisfied” with the performance of the amphibious transport dock San Antonio, which has been sidelined by emergency repairs since Oct. 31.
But after a speech in which he described the need for accountability and a “culture of quality” for Navy acquisitions and its private-sector vendors, Winter did not commit to new changes or penalties for problems with the San Antonio and its follow-on siblings.
