2moAwesome! NOW they just need to retrofit all their ships/subs with my Seal Genie® LIFETIME seals and stop wasting tax payer dollars and time with the 1950's era red rubber seals they still use. Back in my day in the service we called those wasteful practices FRAUD, WASTE & ABUSE. You want modern? Get out of the 1950's! Want to hide your whole sub from sonar? We have that too. Highest bidder WINS! 😎
