Submarine collision...odds?

A couple of years ago one of our nuclear submarines had a collision with its French opposite number in the Atlantic. We were assured at the time this was simply an unfortunate coincidence. Now I'm not into conspiracy theories. On the contrary since, mostly, honest cock-up beats conspiracy every time. But, really, what are the odds of a coming together, at the same depth, in hundreds of thousands of square miles of ocean?

Of course anyone who actually knows isn't likely to be posting here but as usual we can settle for the usual lightly-informed speculation...before I pop out for a beer with Elvis!
