USS Miami (LA class SSN) totally destroyed by fire

"The USS Miami represents about 2 percent of the U.S. Navy attack submarine fleet. If it doesn't return to service, the Navy has lost 2 percent of its undersea warfare capabilities," said Loren Thompson, an analyst at Arlington, Va.-based think tank Lexington Institute. "However when you have a fire burning in a confined space of that facility for (many) hours, the likelihood it would make financial sense to return it to service is pretty low."

You are not aware how capable the U.S. is in repairing a warship are you if there is a chance of recovering a boat? Remember the USS Cole? Definitely the world just got a little easier for China to start a war in South China Sea without Miami in the way of course.

Ex-USS Miami was a nuclear submarine. I wonder if the core melted from the fire. It is very difficult to start and stop nuclear reactors, so the nuclear reactor was probably running while the fire burned. Is Portsmouth Naval Shipyard now a radioactive zone just like Japan?
