I’ve never understood why you would want to send a sub through the straight of Hormuz. Probably too shallow to chase other subs and there are other ways to gather intel in the gulf. How is it worth the risk? I suppose if you’re an admiral and you need to get rid of a captain you can send him through.

I sure hope nothing happens to the Captain, reads like it was purely accidental.

Were there any witnesses?

If a terrorists boat sinks in the ocean and nobody sees it?...

Reading the article I am confused as to what happened. Did our sub not see the fishing vessel and rammed into it by accident or since it said a “suspected fishing vessel” were we chasing it and that was the method of aspprehending them was to hit the boat with the sub instead of using firepower?

It is very shallow water and hard to navigate. Jobs, rank, and money will be lost.

In other news; nothing at all happened in Bossier City, LA. today.

Al Jareuters can't help but insert that the boat is a nuke (Horrors! Nuclear power!) when in fact all subs which begin "USS" are nuclear-powered (with one or two diesel exceptions.)
