The San FranLulu....

That’s the boat that hit an underwater mountain at near flank speed, and lived to tell about it.

The Euros can preach about their sneaky diesels, but I’d like to see one pulverize an underwater mountain like a Los Angeles class.

Had to look up flank speed and the incident that you referenced. Looks like she was damn lucky to get back to the surface.
