Spain builds submarine 70 tons too heavy after putting a decimal in the wrong place
Oof.
There's a bright side though; business for America:
MAGA!
HARTFORD, Conn. — A new, Spanish-designed submarine has a weighty problem: The vessel is more than 70 tons too heavy, and officials fear if it goes out to sea, it will not be able to surface.
And a former Spanish official says the problem can be traced to a miscalculation — someone apparently put a decimal point in the wrong place.
Oof.
There's a bright side though; business for America:
A U.S. Navy contractor in Connecticut, Electric Boat, has signed a deal to help the Spanish Defence Ministry find ways to slim down the 2,200-ton submarine.
MAGA!
