I'm glad no one was hurt, but Navigation by Braille is rarely career-enhancing.

They were more fortunate than the crew of the USS San Francisco.

If the Brits are like the US, this sub captain just suffered a career-ending bump.

“HMS Superb hit an underwater rock”

As opposed to?

There was also "no environmental impact" from the collision, he added.

Right. I'm sure an urchin or starfish or anemone or sea cucumber was killed.

Sub sailors are not known as bubbleheads for nothing.

I was in a submarine (SSN Atlanta) that did something similar in 1986. It was the same time the Soviet reactor blew up so out story was pushed way off the headlines

HMS Superb was first launched in 1976. Most recently she has been deployed to Afghanistan to provide support for troops there.

Wow, what a sub! since Afghanistan is a landlocked country. Before that maybe it was commanded by Obama and helped liberate Auschwitz.

If they can drag the boat all the way up those mountains to Afghanistan, a few rocks on the sea bottom are not going to hurt it much!
