Bonk! Vanguard and Le Triomphant collide

Bonk!

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.

HMS Vanguard and Le Triomphant were badly damaged in the crash in heavy seas earlier this month.

Suggesting they weren’t underwater, and were probably maneuvering at the surface for some reason — since the heavy seas would be irrelevant at depth.

BBC defence correspondent Caroline Wyatt said the incident was “incredibly embarrassing” for the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

Not really.  Stuff happens.  

Who should really be embarrassed is the BBC to have a defence correspondent who has no sense of perspective.
