Navy’s New, “Truly Unstoppable” Warship Breaks Down Three Weeks After Commissioning
An Exclusive You Have To See: The Last Frontier of Free Press Is Here! No More Censorship, Unlike YouTube and Others!
Here’s a dramatic video of the USS Milwaukee, the Navy’s newest Freedom-class littoral combat ship, charging along at 45 knots (note the epic musical score):
That’s from acceptance drills during October when the ship’s crew was described by Commander Mark Haney as ‘truly unstoppable.’
Fast forward to Friday and this was the scene as the Milwaukee was towed more than 40 nautical miles to Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek, Virginia.
As it turns out, the Milwaukee is ‘truly unstoppable’ unless “fine metal debris” accumulates in the lube oil filter. If that happens, the vessel apparently goes from “unstoppable” to “unusable,” and must be towed to port.
According to NavyTimes, “the ship suffered an engineering casualty while transiting from Halifax, Canada, to Mayport, Florida, and ultimately its home port of San Diego.” Here’s more:
Problems with the propulsion plant began almost as soon as Milwaukee got underway from Halifax. The ship’s computer system triggered an alarm and the ship called away an engineering casualty.
Engineers cleaned out the metal filings from the lube oil filter and locked the port shaft as a precaution. In the early hours of Friday morning, the ship was conducting steering tests and lost lube oil pressure in the starboard combining gear due to the presence of the same metal filings in that filter.
The ship then dropped anchor while the engineers worked on the system. By mid-morning, the salvage ship Grapple rendezvoused with Milwaukee and connected a towing hawser line for the trip back to Little Creek.
John McCain was note happy. “Reporting of a complete loss of propulsion on USS Milwaukee (LCS 5) is deeply alarming, particularly given this ship was commissioned just 20 days ago,” everyone’s favorite Senate warhawk said. “U.S. Navy ships are built with redundant systems to enable continued operation in the event of an engineering casualty, which makes this incident very concerning.”
According to the Navy, “the Milwaukee is a fast, agile, focused-mission platform designed for operation in near-shore environments yet capable of open-ocean operation” – or not, apparently. And more: “It is designed to defeat asymmetric “anti-access” threats such as mines, quiet diesel submarines and fast surface craft.”
That sounds pretty impressive, so perhaps someone should ask Stephanie C. Hill, vice president of Ship & Aviation Systems for Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training business what went wrong. Here’s how Hill described the vessel when it was commissioned in November:
“The USS Milwaukee is a warship with capabilities unlike any others. The entire Lockheed Martin-led LCS industry team is proud to deliver USS Milwaukee to the crew who will bring this great ship to life to participate in the defense of our great nation.”

We’re sure someone at Putin’s new multi-billion, National Control Defense Center got a kick out of this.
Because there’s not much more we could add to make this any more amusing than it already is, we’ll siimply close with one last quote, this one from the Honorable Ray Mabus, secretary of the Navy:
“The spirit of the people of Wisconsin is evident in the work of the shipbuilders whose tireless efforts have brought the soon-to-be USS Milwaukee to life. It is this spirit that will live on through this ship as it carries the name Milwaukee across the globe and helps ensure our Navy and Marine Corps remain the most formidable expeditionary fighting force the world has ever known.”

 God's Word - 2 Corinthians Chapter 10 (Jeff Osburn) |
Symbolic of what happens to a nation when it forgets that Yahweh rules in the affairs of men and nations. The Lord will see to it that many other such problems, such as the iron filings which made the “mighty and invincible” Milwaukee inoperable, afflict our nation and it’s defense because of the wicked, ungodly path the country is on.
Its a metaphor of America.
Ye this got onto VT and the Navy Times lied about it – another insider source had already reported part of the truth about it having hapened in the South China Sea – the article was posted here on this BIN website by the NESARA source attached to the claims about Obama being arrested by SC Judge Justice Roberts.
The U.S. ship was in the South China Sea harrassing the Chinese (again now for the 3rd time) and trying to drum up war when the Chinese finally had enough and hit the ship with an EMP. The U.S. military is currently still contracting Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics and paying them billions of dollars for decades old technology. The Russians and Chinese are about 150 – 250 years ahead of the U.S. in terms of the levels of military technologies that they have revealed as having used in the open day recently.
USS Milwaukee Suffers Mysterious At Sea Paralysis, Is Towed to Port

America, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, India, etc, etc, etc all one country Worldwide.
Chemtrail spraying in EVERY COUNTRY and not a word or anyone stopping it, ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT
Fake Space Program in America, China, India, Russia, etc. ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT
911 False Flag and NOT ONE WORD WORLDWIDE, ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT
Antarctica is ancient Jerusalem and NOT ONE WORD WORLDWIDE and all have a little piece of it, Worldwide, ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT
Its Endless
EMP’d? I’ve read that there are weapons available that can disable a vessel either through electronic, or laser targeting.
It does not bode well if this true…. Or even if this is done through negligence. Either way, put a fork in it…
Ships are good when fighting little players but are not much use when it comes to super-powers because they have missiles that can do mark 7-10 and cannot be stopped.
The USA knows this, China knows this and so does Russia but the US tax payers who get to pay for it all don’t seem to know.
Every day the USA spends $2.6bn DID I SAY BILLION on “Offence” and i say offence because the USA is not under attack and yet half the young american people live in wooden shacks or big aliminium caravans and the old, well unless they are rich are dieing because of medical insurance scams where it cost $50 just to get an asprin.
I think you know who to blame and its not Obama
Give me control of a nation’s currency, and I care not who makes its laws.
( Bart Simpson. )
Hopefully they can learn from this and coordinate better the tow boat during combat.
Had they packed around the propulsion shaft with frosted doughnuts, as both I and Angle #1 recommended prior to launch, this would never have happened.
Never underestimate the power of doughnuts.
These days a boat is just a slow moving target…….or a hole in the water you throw money into.
“Metal filings” in a system with multiple filters and redundancies in critical systems (such as propulsion), and a propulsion system that had passed prior tests at sea, but now has failures that “began almost as soon as Milwaukee got underway”
That sounds more like sabotage.
Cheap Chinese Parts!!!
