The Navy has revealed that five sailors – an ensign and four chief petty officers – have been charged with Uniform Code of Military Justice violations over their alleged part in the leak of video footage from last month’s F-35C Lightning II crash aboard the USS Carl Vinson.
I haven't been back here in a few days so I didn't see your reply. I'm not sure the official report but they said it was either a battery fire or one of Scorpion's torpedos went hot and took her down. There are many discrepancies in the story the navy put out with what actually happened. For instance, the navy waited until the day Scorpion was due back in port to put out the SUB MISS message to the entire navy. The thing is, the navy knew 7 days earlier that something was up with Scorpion because she didn't send a message at the scheduled time. Submarines that are in transit send a message at predetermined intervals so the submarine squadron know its still out there. Scorpion failed to do that but the navy sat on that. There's a lot more about it but that's the biggest thing that makes everything the navy say about it a lie in my opinion. I think the Ruskies took her down but we may never know.
