When where and why did the new navy come about? What is the new navy? Are the nuclear submarines actually yellow? How could I join, and why would I want to go on yellow nuclear submarines? Sailors have recieved a bad image, and the new navy was necisarry to disguise and alter the image of the new navy. Instead of portraying things as they really are, some politicians decided it was important to lie, or they just wanted to cause massive change in an organization they knew little about. Most of these people were never on nuclear submarines and do not understand the results of thier actions, then again many people on nuclear submarines do not recognize the results of thier actions. Now instead of beating a guy up, you play psychological games with him and file paperwork on him the whole time just to have it ready. The next time he screws up big, you can pull all the old paperwork out and show the guys history in the new navy. This obviously coincides with the whole paperless new navy idea. I was in charge of the cleanliness of the waterfront for my last months in the new navy. Much of what they recycle on sub base new london gets thrown away anyway. Thats funny that they sort it out, then throw it in the same place. I do not even remember seeing a paper dumpster on the entire base. Of course they will tell you what great strides they have made as all things are improving in the nuclear submarine community. I suppose it is not really lying if it is done out of ignorance. Inside the new navy, that is the heart of the problem. Many people do not know what is happening around them, even in a comunity as small as nuclear submarines. There is little incentive to do a good job, and this weeds out the top performers.
