A skipper has claimed a submarine may have snagged itself on his trawler as it fished off the Outer Hebrides. Angus Macleod said he and his four crew were "extremely lucky" after his net was continually dragged in front of his 62ft boat. The Royal Navy has said there were no British or Nato submarines in the area at the time. There has been speculation in recent months that Russian subs have been operating off the Scottish coast.

Nato has submarines? They probably borrowed them from the u(seless).n.

Asked for a comment, the trawler captain’s wife said “I’m not going to clean it.”

Roger that. My dad used to be the Supply officer for COMSUBLANT/CINCLANTFLT in London in the early 60’s.

No wonder I was getting anything. I used a Philly cheese steak, then a hoagie.

When the end of the world happens I hope I'm down south cause it always takes twenty years or longer for things to happen there.

I bet he didn’t have a license to catch it, and that’s why he had to release it.
