Well, there ya go. Funny part is that is wasn't in our Gulf but the Persian Gulf.


Quote from article:
"My ship's company have enjoyed a short break in Abu Dhabi, which has allowed us to recharge not only our supplies, but my people."

Have you read the title of the thread?

I don't know Rockhuff,
One:
Filling out an international incident report
two:
Magnetic water (why would this be involved?)
those two stick in my mind...

Yes, however that could have been an assumption by the OP, that it was the Gulf of Mexico. Trust me, I want to believe OP, I don't want to think we were all fooled.

True, maybe the A/C is a shill and making me doubt.

If it did happen in the Gulf, would we hear about it? Thru MSM?

It still lends credence to the fact that he probably did hear it over a secure line.

If it did occurr in the GOM , the best explanation would be a cover story. Lieing eyes thing. Well, I'm off for some time with the wife, everyone be safe, and Jen, keep us updated..

and maybe, they just quickly invent an "exercise" for plausible deniability

they were "practicing" for a major oil spill back in March or April, i believe

but, BP told the MMS that they had cracked up the sea floor in February

see?

Should be fairly easy to confirm by checking if there were subs in the Persian Gulf exercises.

this thread needs to die already.....................

Why? Is it disrupting your American Idol reruns??

.

I think we need more information before we conclude anything for certain about this thread.

Remember, we are constantly lied to and fed disinformation by governments and MSM.

Thanks for info. Big assist.

Nope....not dead yet.

Hey ALL:

Just to note incase you missed my post waaaaaaaay back somewhere between page 1 and 50 (Forget Page), I posted this June 26th News story from the Sun Sentinel.

Might be related to OP's posting's

Sub sightings baffle witnesses
Officials theorize that Navy vessels are in transit or doing testing

By Robert Nolin, Sun Sentinel
6:17 p.m. EDT, June 26, 2010

Loch Ness has its Nessie. Chesapeake Bay has Chessie. Even Lake Champlain has a critter called Champy.

So what mysteries lurk beneath the briny off South Florida?

Something a little more mundane than your standard mythical sea monster, but no less fearsome: Full-scale submarines, baffling beachgoers and boaters with now-you-see-it, now-you-don't appearances.

They're big, gleaming black, and glide silently offshore among freighters headed to Port Everglades and cruise ships steaming to exotic ports. Although warlike, this sub-festation is friendly: most likely our guys — Navy vessels cruising to classified destinations or participating in tests from a local facility.

"It's not uncommon. We've gotten reports, maybe a handful of times," Coast Guard Petty Officer Barry Bena said of the sub sightings. "It's definitely a possibility that it could be a Navy sub transiting the area."

The big warfish have fascinated those who have noticed them from land or sea.

Most recently was fisherman Ryan Danoff, who came across a periscope about four miles off Hollywood beach earlier this month. He chased the undersea spyglass with his 31-footer before it slipped beneath the waves in a gush of bubbles.

Danoff, a 30-year-old Fort Lauderdale resident, called the Coast Guard during and after the episode.

"I would like to have found out what was going on out there," he said. "They never got back to me. Still got me wondering."

Another Fort Lauderdale man, freelance writer David Schwartz, was taking sunrise photos on May 10 when he captured the unmistakable image of a sub so close off Fort Lauderdale beach that white caps from waves breaking along the shore could be seen in the frame.

"It was fairly obvious what it was," said Schwartz, 52, who has lived in the military town of Pensacola and is familiar with submarines. "It didn't seem as if it was trying to hide itself."

Schwartz said the vessel — its conning tower, lights and tail fin clearly visible — slowly and soundlessly followed ships entering the port, then turned and tracked out to sea. "As soon as it started becoming light out it went down," he said.

A year ago Saturday, again around sunrise, Robert Rodonich of Hollywood was on Dania Beach when a sub came into view about a half mile offshore. "I was shocked how it just came up out of nowhere," he said.

Rodonich, 42, dashed home and got a camera. He snapped a photo with 4-year-old daughter Lillian in the foreground, clad in red, white and blue, and offering a smile and a thumbs-up.

For five days Rodonich and other observers at the Dania Pier witnessed the sub cruise back and forth in a north-south pattern. At night it was alit.

"There were times it just disappeared, then came up about a half hour or 45 minutes later," he said. "I think it was a training exercise or something like that."

Rodonich could be right. The sub was south of Port Everglades inlet, the location of the South Florida Ocean Measurement Facility, which has operated a Navy range for more than 40 years.

According to its website, the facility monitors electromagnetic and acoustic signals from surface ships and submarines in a "near-shore environment" and "encompasses the Navy's only shallow and deep magnetic research and development ranges, including submerged operations."

Or glp. lol

Commander Adrian Pierce, Commanding Officer of HMS St Albans, said "I was delighted at the success of Exercise Saif Ledge and the visit from Captain Farrington.

I think this was in the Persian Gulf near Kuwait...

Could still be the same DED that OP caught...

I am glad there is some collaboration at least, to his story...

Hope there is no repercussions from this, for OP sake...

We need for people to see/hear this activity and report it... It could have been the real deal...

It's a different incident. OP mentions different countries than the account mentions. The account was about an exercise in the Persian Gulf.

OP never mentioned Kuwaiti subs. He did mention German and others not mentioned in the article.

From June 24:

HMS St Albans promote maritime security in the Persian Gulf

3:22pm Thursday 24th June 2010

THE crew on board royal navy frigate HMS St Albans have been put through their paces in a coalition exercise during its six-month mission tackling piracy, illegal trafficking and smuggling in the Persian Gulf.

Exercise Saif Ledge saw forces from Kuwait, the US and France work with sailors from the type 23 frigate board several arabian vessels, known as dhows, to promote friendly relations.

The Portsmouth-based warship has been touring Iraqi waters helping the Government to protect oil platforms and hunt down small boats carrying weapons and explosives for Islamic extremists since January.

The crew were also visited by Captain Richard Farrington, Captain Surface Ships of Portsmouth Flotilla, who oversaw the various drills and exercises on board which ranged from damage control to weapons training.

aircraft
argentine sub
isreali sub
non registered us flag flying ships
etc

its a smoke screen, i dont buy it

nice try

Thank you. I do not trust oogle on this since they and BP have already made a deal to "handle" the public regarding spill info.

I would not exclude based solely on that info.

However, we have just pulled two pieces stating the exercise was over....reported four days ago....the vessels were back at sea.

Thread still breathing..........gasping but still has a pulse. (wink)

.

The article doesn't mention subs at all....

Ummmm...never said it did. I did, however, emphasize the date of the piece. Check it...then check the calendar. ;)


.

I had to come back for sec, two things:
One:
why would they pick the GOM , where a mega tragedy is playing out to do this?
Two:
was this scheduled?, if not, it's a cover story
JMO

What the AC posted was exercises in the PERSIAN Gulf that lasted six months and ended last week with vessels (no subs mentioned) already back at sea.
