A congressional watchdog probably won’t release a sanitized audit raising questions about the construction timetable for the Navy’s next-generation submarine because Pentagon censorship has gutted the document, the agency said.
The Government Accountability Office report gives away the gist of its findings with its title: “Columbia Class Submarine: Construction Schedule Is Not Reliable.” But the GAO said the Navy and Pentagon blacked out so much of the report that it won’t be able to say much more.
