Found this on the web:
"San Juan is also a primary testing platform for new, advanced systems being developed by the Navy."

I think it's unwise to announce such things....
If it was caused by someone testing "blocking" equipment -- it gave them some useful and perhaps dangerous information.....

Ambassador Andrei Lysenko: There is another matter... one I'm reluctant to...
Dr. Jeffrey Pelt: Please.
Ambassador Andrei Lysenko: One of our submarines, an Alfa, was last reported in the area of the Grand Banks. We have not heard from her for some time.
Dr. Jeffrey Pelt: Andrei, you've lost another submarine?

Meanwhile, the Navy neither confirms nor denies the presence nearby of a Physeter Macrocephalus smoking a cigarette with a contented smile...

Odd, that. I would think that modern comm gear is more or less bullet-proof.
Oh well. At least it did not end like the Thresher.

I'm glad it was a communications problem and not another lost submarine.

This is not new. Occasional short periods of black outs are common. Its not any worry whatsoever.
