 USS San Francisco Story (http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/news/story.jsp?idq=/ff/story/0001%2F20050108%2F0831732069.htm&sc=1110&photoid=20040604NY112&floc=NW_1-T)

If history repeats itself, every officer on this ship will either be Court Martialed or severly reprimanded.  When the Battleship USS Misouri was run aground in the 1950's, everone from the Captain to the engineer were Court Martialed.

Christmas, how do you manage to run a Nuke Class Sub aground these days??

Someone was asleep at some kind switch.

Yep thats what we all think... Expect 100 times worse we're thinking about that and the guys in Charge; your Monkey commander in Chief... scarey huh  :-X

I like my commander-in-chief....I voted for him twice. ;)

And sadly, so did the rest of the country...at least the second time around.

Yep and thats why I'm proud that America doesn't think like you spike.  ;D

Well, at least 51% of America.

... Thats why i remember we have to think about the poor 41% of Americans and how they actually have to live in the same country as the 51% ...

Maniac i think id edit that to read: 

Yep and thats why (51%)  I'm proud that America doesn't think like you spike. 

Still, we are talking about a nuclear sub here. Good going folks.

I always knew you Brits were lacking in a real education....51% + 41% = 92%.  So what happened to the other 8%???  lol[/size]

They voted for Nader.  They dont count for much.

lol...my point being I think he meant to say the other 49%.[/size]

Hm.  Well fine then.  Point remains.

Anyway, it's always a comfort to know people who are driving around a long metal hot-dog, containing enough nuclear hardware to end all life on this planet, cant pay enough attention to their charts, to avoid running aground.

I'll sleep easy tonight, knowing that.

Anyway, back on the topic of the Nuclear sub



The first sailor from the accident has died.

 :(

Was hoping he would make a full recovery =\ 

Thats not good. not good. Although over 140,000 people are also dead from the Tsunami, and a child dies from starvation in the world every three seconds. America and its "allies" Killed an unknown number ofthousands in the war in Iraq, we make our money building and selling arms which cause the death of hundreds of thousands.

Kinda puts it in perspective. but its not good to hear he died.

 At least Bush and Clinton are working together signing off checks from their piggy banks for millions of dollars.

Atleast you Americans have better expereinces with your Subs. Be glad it was no Kursk.

they don't have the power to launch nuclear weapons, the San Francisco is a los angeles class attack sub. Even the ballistic subs (Ohio class) can't launch without hte authority of the president. (which isn't much better if you ask me)

Okay, I'm really tired of people who don't know anything about the military trying to out think me.  The Los Angeles Class Attack Subs do carry nuclear weapons.  They can fire both conventional and nuclear Tomahawk Cruise Missiles.  So yes, both the attack subs and the Boomers can launch nuclear weapons.  And although they don't have the "authority" to launch without the President's permission....there are ways around even that.  Now, how scary is that?[/size]
