US Navy
USS Connecticut sailors have been dealing with this since at least December, possibly longer.
The Navy says it responded quickly and effectively, but some sailors have said help came too late.
Sailors aboard Seawolf-class submarine USS Connecticut, one of the US Navy s most capable attack submarines, have been battling a bed bug infestation.
Naval Submarine Force Pacific said in a statement that the Navy launched efforts to find and eliminate the difficult-to-kill bed bugs after the problem was first reported last December, explaining that the physical presence of bed bugs was found in February.
Sailors told Navy Times, which first reported the infestation, that the problem actually started last March while the submarine was participating in an Arctic training event. Family members of Connecticut sailors told the Kitsap Sun that the bed bug problem has been an issue for about a year.
