Rickover

[edit]

Should this page for this sub talk about the construction problems which led to the sacking of Admiral Rickover?

From the Rickover page: Beyond any personal enmity or power struggles between the two naval leaders, it was Rickover's advanced age, singular focus and political clout regarding nuclear power, and strong, near-insubordinate stance against paying the fraudulently inflated submarine construction claims that gave Secretary Lehman substantial political capital to have Rickover retired. A moderate loss of ship control and subsequent depth excursion during the sea trials of the newly constructed USS La Jolla (SSN-701) – over which Rickover had direct supervisory control – provided Lehman with the final impetus for ending Rickover's career.
