    Submarines? In the water?

    How odd.

    It spent more time along side than it ever spent at sea.

    When I saw the title, "hits water", I thought... "not another accident". 8O

    Wasn't this country back in late 80s or early 90s in negotiations with France or the UK to buy a dozen or so brand new subs from them?

    Better it hits water than it hits bottom.

    Yep. Either six Rubis class or six Trafalgars.

    Yep. Either six Rubis class or six Trafalgars.

    Either of them would've been great additions for the fleet. But I guess the feds thought that buying a quartet of second-hand damaged goods made more sense.
