Me too. It's one of those things I'd read about but never seen in the sim.

Now i didn't think that would ever happen in DW, but you're talking of collision danger  . Is this really something that can occour in RL?

Yes, I think so. Even close in, against quiet targets, depending on depth, there are occaisionally places with a great deal of transmission loss, due to the Lloyd mirror effect. US submarines have collided with Soviet submarines in the past. Even in a convergence zone environment this danger might exist because while you have a long CZ range, your direct path range might be quite short, so you don't know exactly where a target is by the time you're close to him. So, sure, it's possible.

What class was the other SSN? How much time did elapse from detection to collision danger?

It was a TYPHOON class SSBN, and it was maybe 20 seconds or so before I realized what was going on. I was testing my latest revision of the Kara Sea Strategic ASW scenario. We passed well within a nautical mile of each other.
It was interesting, though, because after he zoomed right past me, I had a GREAT Ekelund range from the sphere.
