One iPod, one submarine= $96 million damage!

Oh, come on... I drive my boat in my underwear on Sunday mornings while listening to country & celtic music.

Wait, you say they're playing DiD and the government pays to repair the damage caused on patrol? Ok, I see the fuss now...

Give me a more credible source than The Sun and I might believe it. The mere fact that they claim the sonar operators and radio men were missing from their post is unbelievable since they were in a very hostile environment.

If this story is true (The Sun), I don't imagine this will look good on their performance reports.

Agreed.....certainly the bit about the credibility of The Sun

I saw a similar story but it wasn't from the Sun. I'll see if I can find it again.

Every source I've found quotes The Sun, and I haven't been able to find any AP reports.

I wouldn't be surprised if the story were true, but I remain skeptical until I see something on it from the DOD or some accredited source. http://www.defense.gov/releases

Same here mate....The Sun is not the most reputable or reliable source

A LOT of credibility:
Reuters.

No iPhone mention in this one, no movie-style script.
