In a controversial incident in June, 1978, news reports stated that the Tullibee's single propeller shaft broke off during submerged operations in the Mediterranean. The ship was drydocked in Rota. Some in the crew publicly criticized the ship's captain for failing to heed warnings of cracks in the shaft during the week preceding the incident. ^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.104.71.68 (talk) 02:35, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Virginia-class does NOT use turboelectric drive

The recently added statement The current highly successful Virginia class use the turbo electric design based on the Tullibee is dubious.

RS on the Virginia-class states it has two turbines, with no mention of electric drive.^[2]

RS on the Columbia-class SSBN states it will be the first US sub to use turboelectric drive since Glenard P. Lipscomb, if true this confirms the Virginia-class does not use it.
