Submariners don’t have a lot of exciting service stories they can share in a bar, but this crew does.

Assuming the sub will eventually be identified.

All we ‘need’ to know is that it was an attack boat. Arguably faster than its prey.

Within the submariner community I’m sure that crew is the talk of the town already or will be shortly.

Was that a Boomer class submarine that fired the torpedo? Or do we have no ofher kind in service?

It would be great when the sub surfaces on its return to port, the crew places a broom on the periscope.
