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

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.

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.
