I'm not sure from the translation whether the loss of life occurred in this incident or in the previous one, so I will refrain from making the obvious screen-door joke...

Upon a second reading, "Fortunately, onboard a submarine nobody was. The crew of a tow also has not suffered".
Obviously they forgot to close the screen doors... D'oh!

Fortunately, onboard a submarine nobody was. It's nice to know that with us, Yoda still is.

If we can believe that, we will also buy you and your whole crew each a large box of Lo Mein noodles!
Nobody is likely still down there trying to get out!
There is always someone aboard a towed vessel.Usually a crew of three or 4 to keep the line snug and straight, towed vessels tend to veer in a zig zag and can wear the cable unless someone is at the helm, and that means INSIDE the sub.
Where is CPO when we need him? He could tell us the straight dope on this.

Aha, a homing device for Kim Jong Ils Nodong3 or a surveillance piece to record the propeller/engine sounds of all the ships in the RIMPAC exercise, for Red Subs to use later?

That's the last sub they're going to buy on eBay!

hatches have been onboard battened down not so densely therefore zabortnaja water has gradually got inside of a submarine.Got to watch out for that zabortnaya water. Nasty stuff, man.

It is even more curious that China's last of 12 purchased Russian (Project 636) Kilo class submarine was scheduled for delivery this month.
My money is on changing the old in the title.Initially the Russians used a heavy-lift ship for delivery, I guess to save money they are towing them from the Admiralteyskie Verfi shipbuilding plant based in St. Petersburg to the Chinese base at Zhoushan, Zhejiang.

That is one UGLY ship. They should sink them all right away!
It is curious as you say, but I wonder how many of them will be following the RimPac ships around?
Meanwhile the zabortnaya water here myself I am into a little of ! LOL! ( I should never have this thread read!)

The crew of a tow also has not suffered>>>>>>>>>>>
My crew of a toe never suffers either.>>>>>>>>>>>
I bet theirs didn't suffer either and their death was likely the gentle death of drowning.

hatches have been onboard battened down not so densely Hatches densely must be bolted. Calamity you will avoid.
