MoD admits British submarine dragged fishing trawler through Irish Sea | UK news | The Guardian
http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015 ... -irish-sea

Quote:
“Moreover, had the submarine been aware of the incident at the time, which it was not, then the protocols in place under the code of practice for submarine operations in the vicinity of fishing vessels would have required the submarine to surface and remain on scene while the matter was investigated.”


So neither the sub nor it's crew had any idea. Right.

So a sub with sonar that can detect and identify other subs/ships hundereds of miles away when they're designed to be silent, can't detect/identify a trawler right above it?.........
What's that smell?...... Either incompetence or bull [LIFTED]
