I hope they can do something with it,, make an amusement park out of it ,, scrapping it, ouch.

The Captain is going to have to do a couple more tours to pay for this one.

[SayNoToDems]

I’ll bet that the captain of *that* particular vessel will have some explaining to do.

[visionary]

The sub is 32 years old. Not sure how much more life it had regardless.

[Danae]

Oh his career is over. Count on that.

[Doohickey]

Bummer. I have a White Ensign from that boat (swapped a jack and a commissioning pennant for it).

I guess the window fogged up.

[NormsRevenge]

It looks like the trade-off for repairing damage to the sonar stuff may not be worth the effort.. the estimated life of a nuclear reactor on a ship or sub? I don’t know, it’s maybe 50 years best case... scrap value , not sure, probably not a lot.

Nah, somebody left the screen door open........

[Blood of Tyrants]

Thirty-two years is a LONG time for a steel ship in salt water.

[BluH2o]

Oh his career is over. Count on that.

Not necessarily ... this is the British Navy. They aren't as judgmental as the U.S. Navy ... depends on the circumstances.

[Slicksadick]

Different sub, rock damage.
