It's amazing that a big sub can be poised on some blocks along the keel........ :eek:

RUN AGROUND?????????

Looks like it ran into the side of a mountain. I'd expect to have seen just the BOTTOM of the front dented a little ;)

CNN Just released a shot of the captain and co-captain of the USS San Francisco seconds before running aground.

Great pics. I was in the sub service for 8 years from 83 to 91. The LA class has a sonar dome in the bow which is outside the pressure hull. Looks like it hit the dome which acted like a shock absorber which must have helped cushion the blow. I wonder if the pressure hull was breached???

Somebody, or several somebodies careers are OVER!!!!!

Captain
Navigator
Quartermaster
Officer of the Deck

And that's just for starters.
