About 20, some survived.

You said Fathom.

The captain and crew clearly didn’t understand the fail safe mechanisms designated to prevent the launch of that missIle
But then again, they weren’t meant to

This is a very good article describing what is known in the public domain about Losharik http://www.hisutton.com/Spy%20Sub%20-%20Project%2010831%20Losharik.html

According to Fontanka: “the submariners who died as a result of the state of emergency in the Northern Fleet are on the lists of personnel of the unit that is located in St. Petersburg. It is subordinated to the General Directorate of Deep-Sea Research of the Ministry of Defense, information about it is accompanied by the “Top Secret” stamp. This circumstance does not interfere with the fact that the global network is replete with details about the activities of the division, whose main focus is called intelligence.”

Interesting question. I have just started reading about the Pence situation.

[Mr. Lucky]

Alright, that right there was funny.

I started laughing when I saw the headline, but then caught myself. Obviously it’s not some festive occasion when submariners die in peacetime, even if they’re playing for the other team. At the same time, Russian submarines do have a pretty crappy record, safety-wise. It would be comical if sub problems merely ended up with the crew hitching a ride by the side of the road or waiting for a tow truck. Unfortunately, the reality is a high fatality rate.

Greatminds think alike... First thing that came to mind.

An American submarine operating off the coast of Alaska was REPORTEDLY torpedoed and SUNK during a firefight with a Russian submarine, after the American sub allegedly intercepted the Russian sub in American waters.

The Russian submarine allegedly sustained heavy damage in the fight, with upwards of 14 crew killed, but it made it back to its base in Russia.

I have calls into the Pentagon and to my Intel Sources seeking to confirm (or deny) this information.

No word on US casualties.
