A NUCLEAR SUBMARINE WAS DENIED REFEULING BY NORWAY. A NUCLEAR SUBMARINE! Use common sense for a second. How do you refuel a NUCLEAR submarine? YOU DON’T! BECAUSE IT’S FUCKING NUCLEAR! SHUT… THE FUCK… UP.

Nuclear submarines have back up diesel engines. Our putative ally refused to give us very basic military aid. No article 5 for Norway.

That’s fine. Withdraw any military support for Norway and watch how long they can afford universal healthcare.

I also heard they refused to replace the screen door on the sub as well.

Well shit. There goes all the sight seeing

I heard that they had to put up the mast and the sail to get home.

Backup engines are diesel for auxiliary generators

Oh yeah, so important. Nuclear subs are designed to run for 20 years without any fuel support. I’m sure that sub ran back to America scared.

Don’t get your panties in a knot, I made the same mistake thinking about ships and diesel-electric submarines. Still, it doesn’t change the fact that they were trying to deny fuel to American ships.

The backup systems operate on diesel fuel. They were attempting to refuel the supplemental tanks. Subs, aircraft carriers and the like have the redundant backup systems.
