Hey B sousa....
The same submarine was involved in a very similar accident (I use that word advisedly) just a few months ago.
This time it was surfacing without due care and attention and hitting it's own replenishment vessel....roughly 50km north of Muscat in the Gulf of Oman, causing a bit of an oil slick.
It was actually RVing with that particular ship and still managed to hit it. Do you think there may be a small problem with the way things are being done aboard that boat, or is this par for the course?
Last time I looked, there were loads of different flagged vessels in all sorts of ports all around the world...are you saying that they should never leave their own waters??? Might put a small crimp in the US balance of trade figures don't you think?
So having a go at the Japanese training vessel for having the temerity to be in international waters is a non starter.
I suppose that you also think that aircraft should never venture beyond their own borders too....
