The USS Boise has been sidelined for over ten years, illustrating significant maintenance problems within the US Navy. During a confirmation hearing, the new chief of naval operations, Adm. Daryl Caudle, acknowledged the unacceptable delays facing the Boise. He highlighted that the decision to either continue with repairs or scrap the submarine was a significant matter requiring careful consideration. The Boise, a Los Angeles-class submarine, has been out of operation since completing its last patrol in early 2015 and has not received necessary maintenance since docking at Naval Station Norfolk.
"I hear you loud and clear, senator, on how unacceptable it is, how long she's been in the yards."
"The decision whether or not to actually walk away from Boise is a big one, and I want to make sure I clearly understand the trajectory and trends."
