<p>Yep. Not surprised.</p>

<p>Still sucks, though. Alsways sad to see a career end like that. </p>

<p>The military is an unforgiving employer in this regard.</p>

The attack submarine Newport News came home early Tuesday after a Jan. 8 collision with a Japanese tanker in the Persian Gulf took the boat out of operational status while deployed.</p>

<p>No one was injured aboard the submarine or the tanker Mogamigawa but both vessels were damaged in the incident....

<p>I don't know if this was the same incident, but I recall recent discussion about a collision with the same scenario. Something along the lines of the convergence of the two vessels with the displacement of the huge tanker as it passed the submerged sub pulling it into contact...</p>
