So far I've spent about 5-6 hours reading through the thesis mentioned above and I'm still only about 70% of the way through. It's big and absolutely comprehensive covering just about every detail.
The more I read, the more I believe the T2K timeline wasn't just possible, but likely (with regard to naval operations). In fact it would seem the US navy would have been hard pressed to even achieve a result as good as they did off the coast of Norway in 1996 (virtual destruction) given the wide ranging failures of the navy command structure and absolute resistance to either change or acknowledging any problems. Anyone who raised/raises an issue it would seem is very quickly shut down an censured, their careers stalled. That is if they're not turned into a scapegoat and dismissed from service at the first opportunity.
The US Navy appears to have a culture of cover up. Lessons learned through experience are ignored to protect the careers of those at the top.
I STRONGLY encourage everyone to read it if they can (I know it's a big job, but well worth the effort).
