Situation Report
RENTON, Wash. — The Navy is investigating a potential "sweet deal" to increase its fleet of P-8 aircraft, sources confirmed today.
The Navy's P-8 Poseidon, an invaluable asset in submarine detection, is a modified Boeing 737 aircraft. The Boeing 737 Max has recently come under intense scrutiny and grounded for equipment failure following a string of crashes. Navy leadership paid an emergency visit to the Boeing plant in Renton, Washington, shortly after the news broke.
"How much for this puppy right here?" asked Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer, slapping the nose of a 737. "How does $1,400 sound? I can do 15, but that's my limit."
