On an attack submarine of the Seawolf-class nasty bed bugs have infested. The Sailors say, in a year you would be tormented by the blood-hungry beasts, and the Navy did nothing.

The “USS Connecticut” is an attack submarine of the Seawolf-class. Built U-boats and naval forces from Russia, or China to track down and destroy. But now an insidious enemy has occupied the mighty boat. In the berths of the Sailors, bed bugs have infested. You eat the Sailors, and apparently it under the terms of a U-boat very hard, the greedy get rid of bed bugs again

The Problem began when the U-boat in March of 2020 participated in the ICEX 2020 in the Arctic ocean, partial and continued during a mission in the last year, said a sub-officer of the “Connecticut”, which wanted to remain anonymous, “the New York Post. “We have bugs for one year bed. The Sailors complained that they were in the Rear bitten.”

Bureaucratic Bugs-War

The official presentation is slightly different, therefore the bugs presence had been reported for the first time in December and it was not until the 19th century. February, the track also. Somewhat cryptically, a spokeswoman said: “The Navy’s criteria for the treatment of U-boats or ships require the physical presence of bed bugs, the existence of determine.” Can translate to the well so that the bugs were first confirmed in February of the Navy-chamber hunters officially and the Problem previously, so for the bureaucracy did not exist.

The Problem was, the officer, the Sailor months have been bitten, but no bugs as proof, were able to provide. Now daily inspections have begun, all the beds were inspected, searched, and mattresses were, according to the spokeswoman. Bed linen and curtains were washed Navy entomologists have come on Board. Also “deadly counter-measures” against the plague are possible.

I used the previously little, so the Sailors to the newspaper. “Our top management, said: ‘If we clean all of these mattresses and disinfect, and someone complains more about bed bugs, then he’s lying, fucking’.”, As the boat in December returned to its home port in Washington state behind the bed frames with steam fogged, the bed bugs to kill, but that didn’t work, so the Sailors further. The bugs only, the spread in the further sections. Apparently, the animals found new cracks in the boat. Particularly, the team has incensed that they had been used as Guinea pigs in order to document the infestation with new bites.

Even before the official results, the team had to suffer. “The people were alive in their beds, eat,” said the Sergeant. The people would have started on the floor of the mess hall to sleep, to escape the elusive blood suckers during their deployment.

It was not until the Sailors had turned to the inspector General of the Navy and the “Navy Times” had been made. The officers insist that the attack was no small matter. The service is provided on an attack submarine, is challenging and stressful. “If someone suffers from sleep deprivation, he could fall asleep at the controls and us into an underwater mountain driving.”
