A tragedy on a sub was diverted this day....
USS Dolphin, a U.S. Navy diesel research submarine which holds the world's deep-diving record, caught fire in the Pacific Ocean off California May 22, 2002 and all 43 people aboard were rescued, the Navy said. A naval frigate was standing by the diesel-electric submarine USS Dolphin on the surface of the ocean about 100 miles (62.14 miles) west of San Diego and the sub "appears to be stable," said Lt. Cmdr. Greg Geisen, a spokesman for U.S. submarine forces in the Pacific. Undated handout photo of the USS Dolphin. REUTERS/Ho/Navy
