Try doing angles and dangles and then auguring into a sea bed wall at full speed, bubbling up and coming out of the water and then grounding the sub on a shoal. I cannot say how many of the crew told me this but in short, that is what happened. There is a lot of CYA going on concerning what happened and I have yet to see published what crewmen on the Hartford have said. A lot of CYA going on when one screws a $3 Billion submarine into oblivion.

How did the Hartford get back to Norfolk? was it towed, or under its own power, or did it do a lift job like the USS Cole?
