If they see a 6'4 man with a beard and a dialysis machine out for a swim, I want to know that we can torpedo him.
That is quite a Hit . I don't recall hearing about that on the news.
It was a week and a bit ago. They had to limp home at pretty slow speed.splat said:

don't you have to have a license to drive one of those things?
Wouldn't want to be the insurance company on that claim.
I wonder what happened to the commander of that thing? Isn't he ultimately responsible for that toy?
i just read that he's been reassignedPau11y said:
apparenty the seamount that they hit at 35 mph was not on the charts. The Commander was relieved of duty pending the results of the investigation. IE: did or did not sonar pic it up, were appropriate actions taken etc.Pau11y said:
I feel for the family of the one sailor that died and the other 20 that were injured

I'm amazed that it didn't sink with that.
My brother's a Nuke on the USS-Louisville.
He said the impact sustained by that sub, would be like a head-on collision in a car at 45 MPH.
YOUCH.

I was on a ship when we ran aground off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt.
The Captain was relieved of his duties, as well as the Executive Office (2nd on command).
I have the pix on my home computer of the ship in dry dock in Haifa, Israel, had to be towed over 350 miles.
Fun

Ya, except msisile defense is useless. No rogue nation will have ICBMs that can reach they us. They will simply bring in a nuke on a ship, or in a car. A missile shiedl is 100% non-effective. I was at a good talk with Kenneth Waltz about this, yes the father of modern realism. Even he agrees, it is a farce.mack said:
Not to mention the current one DOESN'T EVEN WORK. It has failed about every single test so far - great investment guys!
Also, Putin isn't a nice guy, he favors a return to the eastern block style ussr. He has ballistic missile subs, don't kid yourself. If they felt threatened, the weapons are still there. Also, any nation with a recon sub will have on in the general area, which means you need fast attack subs to counter them.

Do they get you all out of the sub before they tow it? Did anyone get hurt?Arm On Fire said:

That must've been one rocky-a$$ seamount......
You mean they don't make those things to withstand a seamount collision?

Collisions have frequently happened with nuclear subs, here's a list of a few known ones:

Those are only the 'major' ones it looks like.DHanamal said:
We mortally wounded a brand new tugboat in the Panama Canal on my sub. The pilot raced to the shore and beached it as fast as he could. It didn't actually sink.
Before I arrived onboard, they had sunk a fishing trawler too by snaring it's nets while they were submerged and pulling it down behind them.
We just barely missed hitting a stopped merchant vesel that had engine problems and was dead in the water, and thus making almost no noise at all for us to detect. We were headed to periscope depth in the middle of the night. Scary crap, that was.
The USS Gerogia sank a tugboat, when it(the tug) lost power only about 200 yards off the pier and 7 crew of the tug were lost.
The Captain and a few other people are going to get in trouble for this. Uncharted or not, there are things you do underwater to avoid this kind of situation.
