RN Sub run aground

[Mad_Mark]

'Near the ground' as in by the coast? Surely, the 'ground' in the middle of the sea is called the sea bed, and if a submarine were to end up stuck on the sea bed I would suggest that it had sunk rather than 'run aground'.

Ahh, SUBMISS, SUBLOOK, SUBSUNK.

So just how long will SUBLOOK take without a LRMPA to assist in the looking?

Hand grenade, pin, throw, run....

MadMark!!!

FW, at least we know they wouldn't be at fault. Ever.

"Of course I didn't run aground, the sea just parted in front of me."

Global warming/climate change is supposed to be causing sea levels to rise. Sea Levels rising = less chance of running aground, or perhaps not?

[Willard Whyte]

Ahhh, now we know why they've gone for a belchy oil*-burner not a 'clean' CVN.

*stand by for pedant attack.

Maybe if the MRa4 had been able to scout ahead of them, the early warning of the rocks could have save a lot of money.

[Willard Whyte]

Pretty sure the rocks may well have been there for a while. Hope their charts were up to date...

Who mentioned the regiment?

[brakedwell]

Somebody took their eyes off the TomTom.

Perhaps they were moved by the RAF.

Apparently they've history of trying to do that to get one over the Andrew.

The RAF moved Australia by 600 nm

[Doha_lad]

High Confidence Snort or what?

[Biggus]

...more likely a "sinker"!

Indeed, hence why I remarked in the same post you quoted,

When I read the headline "Nuclear sub aground off Scotland", my mind immediately thought of that incident in Swedish(?) waters.

I thought this may be the Nimrods salvation, but no, it wasn't Russian, one of ours.......

Is the RAF being blamed for HMS Nottingham hitting Australia a few years back then?

After all the doom and gloom these last few days, there's nothing like someone else's misfortune to raise the spirits

I'm not going to die in a ditch over this, just putting it out there...



You can get underwater reefs in the middle of the ocean . It also covers other situations such as a fire etc... sorry BAe have already done that.

[cornish-stormrider]

so is this just a small upset or a major whoopsie for our senior bretheren?

Did the kid driving not pass his playstation test then??

I'll have one of them astute cocktails too please.......
maybe we should nickname the navy whisky -

[pasptoo]

MR4 Tasking? not required I'm afraid

could use its radar to locate them and then it could use its radios to relay their position to the tug

A bus driver going over the Skye bridge could have located them, and using a mobile phone (that the sub was listening to) could have called the NotW jurnos!

No need to sweep the inner sound to find them!
