Leaves me wondering, "how the hell could that happen"? I mean, how could
something so obvious as contamination of the force water supply be "not
anticipated"... That's just incomprehensible to me that they could miss
that..


That's the basis of the lawsuits. According to the lawyers, Japan
under-reported the extent of the radiation leakage. The powers to be
determined that the distance the carrier stayed off shore mitigated any
danger, based on the reported level of radiation leakage.

Turns out the leakage was much more severe than what was reported.



Just blows me away they would even consider any outside info, and not
just be monitoring themselves. This is on Fleet Command, nobody else...
