When confronted with the doctored results, Thomas told investigators, “Yeah, that looks bad,” the Justice Department said. She suggested that in some cases she changed the tests to passing grades because she thought it was “stupid” that the Navy required the tests to be conducted at negative-100 degrees Fahrenheit (negative-73.3 degrees Celsius).

        Yea, but its a sub, and water literally never gets colder than 33 F, otherwise it's just ice lol.

          pressure + high salinity causes it to be much colder in the poles

          basically all the 'fresh' water rises to the top after icing forcing more and more salt downwards. also is the reason why the ocean floor isnt iced up somehow

          coldest temp ever recorded was something like -88c
