Wasn't the George Washington involved in a similar incident in 1986?

Check the rudder.

I don't see how things like this happen unless the ship it collides with is made of ceramic and rubber. Shouldn't they have detected the cargo ship?

There's something wrong with our bloody subs today.... :damn:

Doh, that's not even a 688. From the image name I'm guessing it's the Japanese diesel electric sub that hit the Panamanian ship.
(Would explain the JDS ensign, though I presumed at first that it was a courtesy flag)
