USS Hartford Nuclear Propulsion System Leaking Radioactivity...Is Reactor DAMAGED...

The USS Hartford docked at Mina Salman pier has apparently been surrounded with protective booms as local Public Commission for the Protection of Fisheries, Environment and Wildlife Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa issued orders for the officials concerned to follow up on the environmental impact the incident may have on Bahrain. It was first thought that this piece of information concerned the 25,000 of Light Crude/Diesel that the USS New Orleans spilled when a 16-18 diamter hole was punched into its hull...it now turns out there could be far more worrisome issues.

It seems that Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa wants WATER SAMPLES from under the Nuclear Fast Attack Sub USS Hartford to ascertain the severity of the RADIOACTIVE LEAK!

He said that officials are monitoring the situation with the US Navy regional environment affairs co-ordinator and Mutual Emergency (MEMAC) and Bahrain port authorities after the vessels were transferred to Bahrain waters for maintenance work.

"We ensured containing the environmental impact from the oil leaks with the use of rubber booms," said the spokesman.

He said that the public commission requested the US Navy to be provided with samples from under the submarine to be analysed as soon as possible at one of the neutral labs in the region.

"The move aimed at establishing the level of the radioactive leak," said the spokesman.

He said that Bahrain authorities also requested an urgent report on procedures that ensure safeguarding marine environment and the health of the workers during maintenance work on the submarine in Bahrain.

"The public commission, in co-ordination with the Royal Navy, learnt that the submarine's fuel was not affected from the collision," said the spokesman.

"The US Navy regional environment affairs co-ordinator also assured us in an urgent reply that the submarine contains measuring and early dedication equipment to monitor any leak of nuclear fuel." (These are the same hallow false propaganda reports the NRC gives us all the time...same thing we heard when Indian Point leaked 100,000 of tritium laced water into the Hudson River, the same excuses they give to deny their guilt in my wife's cancer...what is the real truth MC2 Kirby?)

"We would like to assure all Bahrain residents that the situation is being closely monitored by the authorities concerned." My suggestion to the citizens of Bahrain...TRUST BUT VERIFY as Mr. Reagan used to say...the Nuclear Navy is not above giving you FAKE WATER SAMPLES....have your own divers collect the samples.

This blog contacted Naval Operations, and several people REFUSED COMMENT, one person saying, "we cannot discuss that matter." After much persistence I was told I would have to speak to one PAO Ed Siegler...so far, the man has not bothered to respond to the inquiry. So tell us the TRUTH Mr. Seigler...is the USS Hartford leaking radioactive materials, and if so, how significant is the damage to the nuclear propulsion system? For other news sources that get better response than us bloggers get, you can reach Mr. Siegler at (202)433-2678 or by cell at (703)609-7996 If you get anything, let us know.

Navy's Inspector General Refusing To Investigate USS Hartford Indicent, Seaworthyness of Nuclear Attack Sub

The US Navy's Investigation Into USS Hartford ACCIDENT IS MICKEY MOUSE!

Seems The United States Navy's Office of Inspector General sees no reason to investigate the MASSIVE COLLISION between the USS Hartford and the USS New Orleans in the Straight of Hormuz, even though various internet sources are starting to suggest the vessel (nuclear attack sub) is no longer seaworthy, may be nothing more than SCRAP METAL...three collisions now in the past two years (that we know of), the possibility that a Nuclear Attack Sub may now be SCRAP METAL, and the Navy Office of Inspector General sees no reason to investigate? WOW!

Mr. XXXXXXXXXXX,

This is in response to your e-mail of March 23, 2009 in which you request that the Office of the Naval Inspector General open a fully public investigation into the collision between the submarine USS Hartford and amphibious ship USS New Orleans.

While the Inspector General reserves the right to investigate any matter brought to our attention, we respectfully decline to open an investigation into this issue. The Inspector General is not the appropriate entity within the Department of the Navy to address this matter especially since it is currently being addressed using another more appropriate process.

We appreciate your concern and we are assured that this matter is being adequately addressed.

Bahrain, Nuclear Submarine Trashed! We GOT PICTURE!

The Green Nuclear Underground has found a picture of the Nuclear Navy's GREAT BAHRAIN COVER UP...as in a HUMONGOUS BLUE AND WHITE TARP (yes, like the BAILOUT) covering up very significant MAST DAMAGE...here is the story just posted.

United States Nuclear Navy HIDING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE from Nuclear Sub/Ship Accident in Straight of Hormuz

A cursory Google Search, and a check of the Fifth Fleets Bahrain Web Site makes it abundantly clear that the Navy and its Nuclear Submarine people are DESPARATELY trying to keep the world from knowing just how much damage was done to the USS New Orleans and the Submarine, the USS Hartford. Two pictures (supposedly the USS New Orleans) are very obvious PROPAGANDA PIECES meant to present a BUSINESS AS USUAL, nothing is wrong appearance to the citizens of America. Oddly, the Fifth Fleet released NO PICTURES of the USS Hartford Fast Attack Nuclear Sub docking, or coming into port. It is this author's belief that the submarine's mast has suffered SIGNIFICANT damage. In other news...the old no harm no foul, we saw no DIESEL FUEL excuse has also been trotted out...that's right Commander Propaganda, 25,000 gallons of diesel just VANISHED! Where does a citizen file a complaint at? Do not believe that NUCLEAR REACTOR was not damaged until Congress conducts a FULL AND COMPLETE INDEPENDENT investigation...if the USS Hartford was NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED, where are the photographs?

Well Well Well...HIDDEN on a MARINE website, a picture of the DAMAGE, or at least a TARP (as in Wall Street) covering the NAVAL NUCLEAR MISTAKE!

Hartford suffered “visible” damage to the sail and to a bow plane. Campbell could not say if components of the sail such as masts and periscopes are damaged.

“It’s important to point out that Hartford’s [nuclear] power plant was not affected in this at all,” she said. “We’ll be doing a full incident investigation report as well as a [Judge Advocate General’s Manual] investigation.” No DAMAGE, LET IAEA do independent verification. How about Union of Concerned Scientist? Mother's For Peace? By the way, isn't this the THIRD SUCH COLLISION RECENTLY? Yet no ADMIRALS have tenured their resignations out of SHAME?

This is third recent collision involving a U.S. submarine in the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Release #049-09

USS Hartford and USS New Orleans Arrive In Port Bahrain

From Commander, U.S. 5th Fleet Public Affairs

MANAMA, Bahrain – The U.S. Navy submarine and U.S. amphibious ship that collided in the Strait of Hormuz March 20, arrived in port Bahrain today.

USS Hartford (SSN 768) and USS New Orleans (LPD 18) arrived at Mina Salman pier to further assess and evaluate the damage that resulted from their collision at sea.

The incident remains under investigation.

Overall damage to both ships is being evaluated. The propulsion plant of the submarine was unaffected by this collision. New Orleans suffered a ruptured fuel tank, which resulted in a fuel spill of approximately 25,000 gallons of diesel fuel marine in the Strait of Hormuz.

Aerial searches of the area where the fuel spill occurred were conducted yesterday, and revealed no indication of any remaining fuel on the ocean’s surface.

The U.S. 5th Fleet has been working in coordination with the Navy Oceanographic Office to determine refined search areas, based on currents and winds. Additional searches were flown by U.S. Navy aircraft today and found no remaining fuel on the surface.

The quick dissipation of the fuel is likely due to the type of fuel, and various environmental factors to include air and water temperatures, winds and seas.

Both Hartford and New Orleans are currently on regularly scheduled deployments to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations conducting Maritime Security Operations (MSO).

MSO set the conditions for security and stability in the maritime environment as well as complement the counter-terrorism and security efforts of regional nations. MSO deny international terrorists use of the maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport personnel, weapons, or other material.

By the way NAVY...in case you do not have the numbers, did a bit of research for you...did you report the ENVIRONEMENTAL SPILL of 25,000 gallons of diesel to anyone?
