Re: Ouchhh Damaged sub pics
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???
