Navy battles bedbug infestation on Washington-based submarine

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Mar. 30—This month, the Navy has been hard at work fighting a war against an infestation of bedbugs aboard a nuclear-powered submarine, the U.S.S. Connecticut, at its homeport in Bremerton.

Navy entomologists say every measure has been taken to eradicate the infestation, and sailors can return to the fast-attack sub, according to a statement from Naval Submarine Forces Pacific public affairs.

The Navy said the infestation was first reported in December 2020, but bed bugs weren't found onboard until Feb. 19. Sailors told Navy Times they've been complaining about the bed bugs since March 2020.

"We've had bed bugs for a year now," a petty officer told The Navy Times. "Sailors complained about getting bitten in the racks."

With bedbugs. I would go nuts. My sympathy for the brave sailors who endured this in the rack.

Permanent problem.
