French and British Submarines Collide

By

JOHN F. BURNS LONDON — In a freak accident, two submarines carrying nuclear missiles, one French and the other British, collided while submerged on operational patrols in the Atlantic early this month, the British and French defense ministries said Monday.

Both vessels returned damaged but otherwise safe to their home ports, with the 250 crew members aboard uninjured and with “no compromise to nuclear safety,” the defense ministries said in terse statements that appeared to have been agreed upon by the nations. The reference appeared to cover the nuclear reactors that power the submarines and the 16 ballistic missiles carrying nuclear warheads that the British and French vessels each routinely carry on patrols.

Hmm, first satellites collide, now submarines are smashing into each other. :wtf1: What's next? Sailboats? Is it only things that start with 'S'?

Maybe they were just practicing their "docking" in a different way.
