(Photo provided to Navy Times) The crew of the fast-attack submarine Connecticut has been subjected to a bedbug infestation in their racks, and sailors assigned to the sub allege that the boat’s command has been slow to fix the problem. The infestation issue began while the sub was taking part in ICEX 2020 in the Arctic Ocean in March 2020 and continued during a deployment last year, according to a Connecticut petty officer who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution.
