Well, actually it was the USS John S. McCain.
Sub collides with sonar array towed by U.S. Navy ship http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/06/12/chi...ine/index.html Quote:
I can't imagine why the Chinese would deliberately bump the array -- too much risk for no "pay off".

Depends on the class of sub I guess.

I doubt the sub knew there was a towed array in operation...but surely the surface vessel must have been aware of the subs close proximity

Jims first piont is assured. Hell, the towed array might as well be a fishing line. The sub should not detect it as far as I know. Point two, towed array is for tracking subs, no? If it was not detecting the Chinese submarine then it was just a fishing line after all.

What are these people doing in Subic Bay? That at least explains the hush-hush instead of the usual finger-pointing. What losers...

How embarrassing for them should the sub have come across difficulties and been unable to surface resulting in a call for international help.

Allowing a sub to come into collision range isn't exactly something to brag about, especially when you have a TA sonar.
