When Nuclear Subs Collide

[Leto Degeneres]

Every navy I know of plays hide & seek with their opponents. THIS is how subs collide.

Simply stated, I believe that to be true as well, but I've never heard it said that guided missile submarines engage in that kind of behavior. This is an interesting case.

That was an absolute failure of command. Before surfacing you stop at 150 and listen while looking through the periscope to see any shadows, then come up to periscope depth to look around. Then, surface the boat. If doing the required quarterly "Emergency Blow" You then go quickly to 400 feet and blow the tanks. If doing an Emergency Blow from test depth (required annually), a suface ship is in the area to keep civilians out of the way.

The Captain was relieved for cause, the death knell of a career, and he deserved it.

Exactly. That whole thing was such a mess. Great commentary you've added, all the way through this thread. Penciling you in for naval resource
