Naja, der Artikel zeichnet aber ein etwas anderes Bild.
Bei diesen beiden Schiffen lag das Problem wohl eher bei der Crew als bei der Technik an sich.

“InSurv is by its nature an inspection that will always reveal a fairly large number of deficiencies, hopefully most of them minor,” said retired Capt. Jan van Tol, who commanded a destroyer and an amphibious assault ship. “However, the scale and scope of the deficiencies, spread across all of the ship’s departments and including the [executive officer] and command master chief, suggests that there is a severe and long-standing problem with low standards; low initiative in finding/fixing/managing problems and following up on documented problems; poorly managed programs; and an apparent inability to train junior people in material management.”

“Where was the chain of command? Why did the parent squadron not know of the terrible material condition?” van Tol asked. The ship’s command, he said, “has a lot to answer for, either in terms of not finding and fixing the problems, or at least advising his seniors of the problems.”
The ship’s enlisted leaders also are partly responsible, van Tol said.
“One could also ask where the chief’s mess was in all this, since they are the technical experts as well as the senior enlisted leaders onboard.”

“There’s a serious lack of command involvement in what’s going on on the ship,” the flag officer said. “That’s basic.”

Da sind dann in allererster Linie ein paar Strafversetzungen nötig und der Laden läuft in weiten Teilen wieder.
Ein Court Martial dürfte da auch recht belebend wirken.
Am Geld solls laut dem Artikel ja nicht liegen.
Man sollte dabei auch nicht unterschlagen das die beiden Schiffe etwas älter sind und sowieso Generalüberholt / aufgerüstet werden sollen.
Im Vergleich zu den Pronlemen die die Air Force mit ihren Material hat ist das kaum erwähnenswert.
