I just noticed through search that this story was already posted from the Daily Mail. This one is from The war Zone.
No communications until they got into cell phone range.
that’s nice...
That should buff right out .... /s
That’s going to be one hell of a debrief.
you bet. On date in 2001 USS Greenville SSN 772, while surfacing off the coast of Oahu, hit the Japanese school ship Ehime Maru. The collision killed 5 crewmen and 4 students aboard the Japanese ship. The Sub’s Captain accepted full responsibility for the collision and was allowed to retire later that year.
That will just buff out..... 🤣
Look how stupid Japanese submariners are ?
“For a submarine’s crew to be provided with collision-warning, its active sonar has to be operating. While this can be activated to see if there any obstacles in the submarine’s path, in many operational scenarios the active sonar is not an option since it emits signals that other submarines and ships can detect.”
Utter BS.
I’ve only ever been on a museum sub in Charleston, SC. I’m not a submariner, but would hope for comment from those in the know. Wouldn’t it be standard protocol, before surfacing, to come up to periscope depth, sweep the horizon 360 degrees, and then surface?
Ya think?
Looks like a wrinkled tower and a broken plane. Could have been worse.
The Soryu? No way.
We sunk it at Midway
I don’t think I would sail on a ship named Soryu.
Somebody is probably looking for a new job.
Just a bit of trivia...this ship is not the first to bear the name ‘Soryu’. There was one before it, an aircraft carrier....
Which the US Navy beat the hell out of before she was scuttled and sent to the bottom in the Battle of Midway.
Ping to sub thread...
These cargo ships are winning every encounter with a warship.
Maybe we need to take a look at that.
