This post is by no means an attempt to mock the U.S military but rather to show that even the formidable U.S. military is susceptible to embarrassing fails and mishaps.

This is directed at the detractors of the Russian military that love to point out Russian failures and label their equipment as rusty, old junk.

The newest ship of the U.S, coast guard Milwaukee, is out in the open sea. Now the ship must be towed back to the naval base in Virginia. The ship was commissioned just 20 days ago. This was reported by the Navy Times publication.

Milwaukee had departed from a Canadian port in Halifax to California's port in San Diego when the accident occurred However, according to the publication, the problems with the vehicle began as soon as it left the shore. Specialists had independently repaired the ship several times beforehand.

The preliminary reason of failure – intake of metal particles in the oil filter that passed into the engine of the ship.

The American government is already aware of the situation. The incident drew comment from the Chairman of the Senate Committee of the US Congress Armed Services Committee, John McCain. He called the situation alarming when a vehicle breaks down after a couple of weeks after launch.

"The message about the damage to Milwaukee is deeply disturbing, especially considering that this ship was commissioned 20 days ago. I'm sure the US Navy will conduct a thorough investigation of the reasons for this failure," said McCain.

This is not the first case when USA shipbuilding experiments have ended in failure. Recently, American shipbuilders were finally able to finalise the construction of the first ship of a new fleet of destroyers, project Zumwalt. Experts, assessing the new project of the U.S. Navy, noted primarily the weak arms and low functionality of the ship.

Lord putin hearing/reading this news b like
''wuna never c anything''

Hhaaaaaaa! How I wish WW3 has begun, their corpses are food for the sharks down below

Ordinary warship, they cannot maintain.

And what would happen is 3rd war world start? Because of a ship broke down? Lol, some people are just funny. How about this
Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is seen here being towed home by a tug boat
after breaking down in a storm. Kuznetsov is an aircraft cruiser (heavy aircraft-carrying missile cruiser in Russian classification)
serving as the flagship of the Russian Navy.
She was originally commissioned in the Soviet Navy, and was intended to be the lead ship of her class, but the only other ship of her class, Varyag, was never completed or commissioned by the Soviet, Russian or Ukrainian navy. Later, this second hull was sold to the People’s Republic of China by Ukraine, completed in
Dalian and launched as Liaoning.

Well,good thing cause of malfunction identified to avoid a future repetition.

The problem with all these big machines is that, just as they come big in size, so too their problems.

Russia military Channels should worry about their only aircraft carrier That cant function without tugboats

First, this was reported in several media, even more so in Western ones. Perhaps Western military channels should also focus on their own military hardware.

Second, why do you suppose America has got 11 super aircraft carriers whilst every other major power either has one or none at all? Lol, I believe you already know the answer to that
