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.

Happened in February 2001, nine miles off Oahu. The submarine _Greenfield_ struck and sank a fishery training vessel full of high school students after performing an emergency surfacing maneuver for VIPs aboard the sub.

Well, I was there in 2010 for a visit...and they did it again! ;)

Navy v. Tourists? LOL!
