Plonkers. I wonder if anyone will get sacked? Don't suppose so.

Just a bad day at the office, lets face it it wasn't the first time in that spot. :-[ :-[


Yes indeed Varche, last time it was HMS Vanguard ;)

:P Surely it shouldn`t be a problem; aren`t submarines designed to sink......and regularly too? ::)

Yes Debs, but the trouble is it didn't; it instead went up and didn't come back down!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Perhaps the little submarine doesn't want to be a submarine anymore and wants to be a frigate!! :D :D :D :D ;)

That word rang clearly throughout the boat when contact was made with the bottom.

Yes, imagine having your hand casually gripping the 'vent' lever when she grounded! Doesn't bear thinking about  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Do people in the forces still get punished for events like this or do they put it down to operational experience?  Lets face it if they hadn't run aground it would have been a very neat trick getting that close to land. Last time I saw anything as impressive was a killer whale taking a seal off the beach in Patagonia!! ;D ;D

i would imagine it all falls down to the captain. Especially with something as fundamental as navigation. If a faulty torpedo went up, or an electrical problem stopped it, that would be different.

But to run a-ground, with all the computers working, in familiar waters, the Captain is going to be in trouble  :(

"Up Periscope. What do you see?"

"All I can see is Skye, skipper"

"Full steam ahead then!"

maybe?  ;)
