The CEO of that sub company was a real “cowboy”!

The sub story is interesting but it is hard to see a NNSA connection. I guess calling cowboy would be one way.

I think this OceanGate company could have avoided this disaster had they had someone on their board of directors with 1) Naval experience and 2) Physics knowledge. I think what they needed was a vice-admiral with a physics degree from Princeton. That is, they needed Pete Nanos to avoid this tragedy.

Pete Nanos wold have blamed the Orcas and would stand down the ocean and open it up with only 10 fish if need be. He would keep telling the fish, "you don't get it", "you don't get it", when asked "what is", he would just say "asking questions is part of the problem!"
What can be done in the ocean that that cannot be done elsewhere?

To be honest Pete did not have much knowledge of physics, sure he has a degree in experiment physics from Princeton but the work was never cited and had no influence. He never went near physics again. He is the least scientific person of any of the lab directors by order of magnitude.

All this relates to the DOE national nuclear weapons laboratories how?
