HONOLULU - A nuclear submarine ran aground about 350 miles south of Guam, injuring several sailors, one of them critically, the Navy said.



There were no reports of damage to the USS San Francisco's reactor plant, which was operating normally, the Navy said.u


Jon Yoshishige, a spokesman for the U.S. Pacific Fleet based at Pearl Harbor, said the Friday afternoon incident is under investigation and the 360-foot submarine was headed back to its home port in Guam.


Details on the sailors' injuries were not immediately available. The sub has a crew of 137, officials said.


Military and Coast Guard aircraft from Guam were en route to monitor the submarine and assist if needed, the Navy said.


Guam is a U.S. territory about 3,700 miles southwest of Hawaii.

I just read that one on MSNBC. The title indicated that the wreck was 'near Guam'. I didn't know that 350miles constituted 'near'.


I was what the reaction from their captain is so far.

oops... my bad.

In an ocean the size of the Pacific, 350 miles really is "near."

Torpedo tubes?

 

[PostCode]

Possibly. Might also there be some highly secret radar equipment is my thinking.

Gov't Employee Insurance Co.

So who then would still be paying for it?

 

[Gonz]

Look, If I hafta insure my car why don't WE have insurance against running subs aground?

 

[ResearchMonkey]

Hi risk job.

BTW, those subs ARE the insurance.

 

[Gonz]

They're insurance against U234 type attacks. Drunken sailors have a reputation ya know.

I went online for quotes, and Progressive gave me a 6-month quote for about $500 less then Geico.
