Demlosers might give you a break, but I sure won't! There's a reason submariners call ourselves 'The Silent Service' - we're expected (and have sworn) to keep our mouths shut, both with respect to the capabilities of our boats and about what we do with them. 99.99% take that oath quite seriously.
By my estimates, 10's of thousands of sailors have passed through the submarine service since the beginning of the cold war. There were many many gnarly events and missions over those decades, and the general public will never know any of the details because of the oath we honor.
Look up the history of any attack submarine on the net; if you believe the official navy version, none of them ever did anything more exceptional than make 'training cruises' and participate in 'fleet exercises'.
Uh huh. Sure.
I'm not saying there has never been a leak about a submarine 'event'; I'm just pinging on you for your cavalier assumption that the crews of a couple of boats wouldn't be able to keep a secret. That said, the original story that started this thread is so bogus in so many ways (many pointed out by fellow Freepers) that it's obvious that for the Kursk incident there's no 'US submarine' secret that needs to be kept.
Hey I hope you're right! But it isn't the same Navy it was 20 or 30 years ago. Just look at the recent event involving the sub that crashed into the undersea mountain. The former Commander was on the Discovery Channel singing like a bird as were many of his shipmates. The Navy even released undersea charts, the media was all over it.
