Thats the 2nd in that area in the last 2 years. Lets face it 688 are not designed for shallow water ops.

At least it happened in the US Navy. Had this happened to say a Russian Navy sub, oh sure the Captain's career is just as fried, but we'll hear another rundown of every possible or conceived fault in the Russian Navy and how they contributed to the incident. With the US Navy the mistake is purely local
