Hatch Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 How the fook can something like that happen. Do Subs stick to some sort of shipping channel or something.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 How the fook can something like that happen. Do Subs stick to some sort of shopping channel or something. Possibly.
Baj Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 So we're trusting these morons to find other subs, but can't even spot walking into one, jesus....
Thedelldays Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 So we're trusting these morons to find other subs, but can't even spot walking into one, jesus.... two things.. dont always believe what is reported in the press...that I will advise you. also, these types of subs move at very slow speeds when on patrol and are pretty much impossible to find when on patrol...that is the whole point.. usually with the subs I am on we go by given areas to be in at certain times and that is deconflicted with other NATO units so this does not happen...the nature of the SSBN nuclear missile sibs mean only a very few people in the UK will know where they are at any one time when on patrol.. like I said, dont always believe what you read in the papers on stuff like this
Marsdinho Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 Bet they were playing a mid atlantic (very expensive) game of chicken....
saintwarwick Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 How the fook can something like that happen. Do Subs stick to some sort of shipping channel or something. It was rush hour, bound to cause an accident.

1976_Child Posted 16 February, 2009 Author Posted 16 February, 2009 I reckon it was the Frogs who drove into our lot. Given the way they drive around Paris, not surprising really.
scott_saints Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 Maybe the French want to start a war with us?
hamster Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 Maybe the French want to start a war with us? ss, copy this "french military victories" into google and hit the 'I'm feeling Lucky' button. You will like what you see.

What kind of bastard word is that? Military-speak, no doubt?
Hatch Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 The thought of the French having submarines scares me

Colinjb Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 The thought of the French having submarines scares me Dread to think what the thought of them having nuclear capability does for you then.
Arizona Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 The thought of the French having submarines scares me They only use them to catch frogs and aquatic snails.
Mole Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 The thought of the French having submarines scares me The thought of someone as indecisive as Dulldays driving a submarine is worrying.
Thedelldays Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 The thought of someone as indecisive as Dulldays driving a submarine is worrying. luckily...i dont drive them
Thedelldays Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 Well it's been on the main news that the mod has confirmrd an accident did occur. im sure they said that.... however, what really happens in the world of SSBNs is NEVER reported on the news... their world is so tight lipped it is unreal
Jillyanne Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 The thought of someone as indecisive as Dulldays driving a submarine is worrying. Does one 'drive' a sub?
Kev Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 im sure they said that.... however, what really happens in the world of SSBNs is NEVER reported on the news... their world is so tight lipped it is unreal They wouldn't print it if it wasn't true. ;-)
Thedelldays Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 Does one 'drive' a sub? no...one steers the sub though...which I dont do either
Jillyanne Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 no...one steers the sub though...which I dont do either Yeah, I thought so.
Saint in Paradise Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 I suspect both were stalking one another as "practice" and got to close OR the French sub had women in charge at the time
Window Cleaner Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 I reckon it was the Frogs who drove into our lot. Given the way they drive around Paris, not surprising really. I hear not, but then you probably won't believe it will you.
Window Cleaner Posted 16 February, 2009 Posted 16 February, 2009 I suspect both were stalking one another as "practice" and got to close OR the French sub had women in charge at the time No women on French subs. GI Jeanne hasn't made it here either.
1976_Child Posted 16 February, 2009 Author Posted 16 February, 2009 I hear not, but then you probably won't believe it will you. What's that s'posed to mean? sarcy barsteward! Still, if Gordon Brown can't even give the submariners a frickin TomTom GPS then these things are bound to happen. It is a small ocean after all. Brown Out.
hamster Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Serious question TDD. How the hell does a story like this 'get out'? It surely is on no one's interest to leak it, and I personally would rather not know that this sort if thing goes on. Surely, for whatever reason, no one need ever know. Seriously, who would leak this and to what end?

Seriously, who would leak this and to what end? Cod knows. Or some Jorno fishing for a story. Call the AA - Aqua Accidents Seriously though, this is ****ing embarrassing for Her Most Gracious Majesty's Royal Navy. Just how the **** does one hit another sardine can in the middle of the Atlantic? I reckon the bloody Frogs were trying to invade us. Some relative of Bonaparte got on board a Froggy tub and had a crack. But our boys were more the match!
skintsaint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Do Subs stick to some sort of shipping channel or something. Probably did but they drive on the wrong side.
ribbo Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 any truth in the rumour that once struck the french surfaced and surrendered?

But our boys were more the match! one thing it does show (if anything) the subs are very good at not being found through normal methods...ffs
hamster Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Can anyone tell me why Avenue des Champs-Élysées has trees down either side of it?
hamster Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 /\ I was told that it is because German soldiers like to march in the shade. That may or may not be true.
Saint_Jonny Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Thats feckin farcical really, isnt it. I mean how big is the sea and how few nuke subs are there!? Jesus.
Ponty Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Can anyone tell me why Avenue des Champs-Élysées has trees down either side of it? Because it wouldn't be an avenue otherwise.
