JensenPark Posted February 16, 2009 Share 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.

Blairgowrie Posted February 16, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted February 16, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 I figured the French crew were on strike, and the Brit crew were drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribunus Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 As crazy as this sounds, they were most likely playing "Chicken". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
