    A Royal Navy nuclear submarine was involved in a collision with a French nuclear sub in the middle of the Atlantic, the MoD has confirmed.

    Quote

    The submarines are equipped with sonar to detect other vessels nearby but our correspondent said it be might be the case that the anti-sonar devices, meant to hide the submarines from enemies, were "too effective".

    Quote

    "The collision of two submarines, both with nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons onboard, could have released vast amounts of radiation and scattered scores of nuclear warheads across the seabed."

    Fuckers are lucky. But man, what are the odds of two stealth nuclear submarines colliding in the middle of the Atlantic?

    It's not as bizarre as it sounds as many countries have certain areas of the Atlantic that are perfect for lurking in. They're naturally deep areas, perfectly positioned to allow easy access to anywhere and pretty well hidden from sonar. So they all hide in these little bunk holes, apparantly you can have up to 5 or so Submarines in one of these areas which could be now more than 1km square.

    My theory is the french one was testing its backwards gear and didn't saw the british one coming.
