Boy, the first thing this immediatly reminded me of was the ferry incident with a an SSN doing a rapid surfacing off of Okinawa (I think it was Okinawa).

USS Greenville, off the coast of Honolulu. :yep:

I guess you could tell I was a bit too lazy to go look for it.:lol:

How is everybody there?

How on earth should I know how everbody's doing in Honolulu? :-j

Very funny, I was talking about you and your family.http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k8.../Errorhead.gif

First ive ever heard of a jap submarine collision.

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?

Where did you get the photo?
 

waste gate, where did you get the photo, I only saw some pretty basic info on BBC news

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)
