Maybe Rik wasn't the right man, but he was probably the right man for selling the ADS. I believe he rejoined Ants after he phoned Kautzmann inquiring about Joe. Believe me, there's no love lost between those two. Another thing about the ADS. Why would the Navy decide to use it on a state of the art vessel if it had problems? And this, according to an article, is with Oracle using lobbyist pressure to try and change their decision. I know I'm hung up on this point, but I saw a glimmer of hope with the return of the ADS and just want to understand the why's and what's, etc.
I agree, Frank wishing for the demise of Ants only appears to make sense if he eventually controls the technology, but.....what possibly made him think he could get away with this?
