JensenPark Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 How could this happen? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090216/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_sub_collision I mean, considering the size of the Atlantic, and the fact they both have radar and both were going slow. Quote
Blairgowrie Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Just proves how stealthy they really are. Fortunately they both seemed to survive the collision with no loss of life reported. Quote
Perfesser Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Both submerged so they aren't using radar, only passive sonar, just listening, not pinging away for echoes. Even radar I think they used to just use briefly looking for aircraft as they surface. Maybe not any more. Any emission(sound or radio) Quote
JensenPark Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 I figured the French crew were on strike, and the Brit crew were drunk. Quote
Tribunus Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 As crazy as this sounds, they were most likely playing "Chicken". Quote
