I used to live in San Diego and whenever one of my relatives or friends would come to visit in the winter months, I’d take them to San Diego Bay for some Whale & Dolphin watching. (The whales move to the warmer waters there that time of year. Snowbirds, LOL!)
Many a time one of the Navy training subs would surface RIGHT NEXT TO OUR LITTLE TOUR BOAT!
Really freaked people out, but I found it exhilarating. I know for sure that sub knew EXACTLY where we were. I think they did it for kicks...but I can’t prove it. ;)
PRAYERS UP for the victims and their family members.
(I was a Navy SEAL Wife in a previous life; it was my toughest, ‘job’ ever.)
I don’t think the Navy does that stunt any more. Not after a Navy sub hit a Japanese vessel full of students off Hawaii a decade or so ago.
