[quote:RenegadeSon:MV8xMTEzNTg2XzIwMDMwOTg2Xzg5OUU3NDUw] [quote:nexuseditor] I just read on Duncan's thread that he believes the Astute kerfuffle was due to Chinese mischief. Any takers here? No just sheer stupidity!They were in shallow waters and should have been further out go sea!They were horsing around and someone will be courtmarshalled for it!The sub was only 2 months old and has apparently already had a fire on board!I think it is ill fated to the extreme!! "Sheer stupidity" and "horsing around" on the UK's lead nuclear attack submarine? Their state of the art equipment didn't detect 'shallows'? I find that harder to believe than what I have posted. That sub had no power and was drifting, that's why it ran aground. They even had to wait for a tug to tow them away. Of course you could always believe the newspapers who say the sub [i]did[/i] have power, but didn't want to scratch the 'special stuff' on its hull as it motored away. LOL! [/quote] Having been on a nuke sub operating out of those same waters, I can tell you that every pebble is charted, and sonar and radar ops are SOP when transiting on the surface. In my opinion, this sub was rendered powerless and was, for all practical purposes...blind. [/quote]
