In the Persian Gulf, an American nuclear submarine collided with a fishing vessel

The US nuclear submarine Jacksonville on Thursday hit a fishing boat in the Persian Gulf immediately after passing through the Strait of Hormuz. As a result, one of the periscopes of the submarine was damaged, but no one was injured in the incident, Reuters reports citing a source in the US Navy. navy.

The nuclear reactor of the boat did not affect the collision. Also, there was no damage to the power plant system and there is no reason for concern about the watertightness of the submarine, the statement of the command of the Fifth Fleet of the US Navy said.

At the same time, it is noted that the collision was so insignificant that, apparently, the captain of the ship did not even notice it. The vessel continued to follow the same course, without stopping and not slowing down.

The incident occurred on Thursday 5 o'clock in the morning local time and is being investigated by official authorities. Recall that Iran is constantly threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman Indian Ocean, in case of increased pressure in connection with its nuclear program. Through this strait is transported a fifth of all the oil produced in the world. Washington states that the US Navy in the Persian Gulf provides security in the region.

Recall that in August, the US destroyer USS Porter collided with a Panamanian oil tanker in the Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz. Then, too, no one was hurt. There was no oil spill, the damage was insignificant.

Traffic accident I wonder who will be in the role of traffic cops

[kostyan77708]

you need such accidents with their submarines as much as possible and preferably more serious (in terms of damage to their submarines) ...

[Mitek]

Yes, I suppose the captain of the angler saw the periscope, was delighted, turned it over and carried it to the horseradish. After all, everyone loves Amerov .. and then home .. to Tartus.))))

Another incident with a peaceful Iranian tractor

[alexng]

This is like in a joke about a lighthouse, an aircraft carrier, and a parrot.
At night - signal lights at sea - an aircraft carrier goes ... There is a small fire right at the heading of the ship. Captain on the air: hey you! Right on the course! If you don’t turn off in five minutes, I’ll drive in and there’s not a whole place left from you! In response, silence. The fire is still burning ... The captain is on the air again: hey, on the schooner! Take your vessel away! .. silence in response ... Captain for the third time - remove or drive! ... The fire does not go out, it burns right in front of the aircraft carrier. There is a voice on the air, says the lighthouse on the lighthouse: besides us with the parrot, there is no one else here. And, if you yourself do not turn off course, bump right into our lighthouse ...

[kotdavin4i]

So they say this is not a joke, but a real case of conversations between the Americans and the Spanish lighthouse. Only there is more authentic))))

Damn, there is not much damage, but now their sailors for unparalleled courage of the medal will probably be given and the film will be shot.

Damn, not enough damage,

Enough for two months to repair Jacksonville is a Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered submarine. This is not the first incident with her participation: in May 1996, she collided with a Saudi container ship in the Chesapeake Bay off the coast of Virginia, in 2004, during repairs, there was a small fire on board.

in May of 1996 she collided with a Saudi container ship in the Chesapeake Bay off the coast of Virginia; in 2004, a small fire broke out on board during repairs.

And it was not "lucky" who drove the boat? Something famously steers.

We give out, maybe more, because. This is the official version of Amer

On January 10, an atomic strike submarine SSN-669 Jacksonville (such as Los Angeles) collided with a small civilian ship in the Persian Gulf, one of the periscopes of the submarine was damaged as a result of the incident, the US Navy’s 5th fleet statement said.

The collision occurred at 5 am at the periscope depth of the movement of the nuclear submarines. The damage is considered insignificant, the reactor is in a safe condition, there are no damages to the power plant and there are no concerns about the water resistance of the submarine.

The civilian vessel, presumably a fishing one, also did not receive serious damage, since the reconnaissance aircraft P-3 Orion, which had flown out to search for the vessel, could not find any injured ship in the area.

The submarine went through the Persian Gulf to its base, upon arrival at the port of registry a more thorough analysis of the incident and the amount of damage will be carried out.

This is the sixth ship of the U.S. Navy, which, starting in May, becomes a participant in such incidents.

Submarine left the base of Pearl Harbor (Hawaii) on November 5 to carry out operational deployment lasting six months.

More than half of the crew are submariners, for whom this is the first long-term access to the sea.

[Atlon]

To block the Strait of Hormuz, Iran needs to "stuff" more old vessels into it. to arrange something similar to the main street of Beijing at rush hour. You cannot drown, you will clog the fairway ... And if the vessels are peaceful, then there is no reason to drown the kakbe ... However, create a pandemonium, like two fingers on the asphalt. Then the "accident" will be much more, and the consequences are much more serious. Well, chaos and confusion will do their job ... So, traffic jams ala Moscow rule!

Here you would all laugh. And there people spoiled all fishing this submarine. Where now will vodka be put which fishing?

[Alexasmi]

After all, it’s written

... the captain of the ship did not even notice him.

So everything is in order with vodka, the fishing was a success, the crew was awarded with commemorative medals and certificates. :)

A mechanic, but it seemed to me the opposite. The fishermen were not grieving, they drank first ALL Vodka and early in the morning (having a good hangover), having pulled out the balls, they saw a white whale right in front of their noses, immediately across and threw the trawl, but the trawl was short, they went to the ram of a sea monster. Well, what, isn’t he a fisherman himself, do you know fishing excitement?

homeland in danger - what measures? the main thing is to start the rocket.
and there with a boat in tow or without a boat doesn’t matter.

And estimate the AUG reaction when such a crap missile with a boat on a trailer is detected on the radar, how is it classified?

A batch of diapers and toilet paper was sent to the crew of the submarine, as well as spare white pants in case of a massive "bear" illness.

Bear disease - in the modern sense, it means a sudden onset of diarrhea from intense fear, nervous tension.

Fishing vessels as weapons against American nuclear submarines.

[Kosmodrom]

But what do the captains not know that, according to the maritime code, it is necessary to give way to American ships? Not democratic like that. Especially the captain of the tanker became insolent, could quickly dodge.

The next time, a peaceful fishing rubber boat will collide with an aircraft carrier and damage, incompatible with life, will be hidden in the fog.

If the surface ship is on the foot, you can’t find it in passive mode.

[Yurikus]

Iran must answer for this impudence and seize the boat. If capture is not possible to sink the army of fishing vessels

[Yuri11076]

This is not the first incident involving Jacksonville. So, in May 1996, a submarine collided with a container ship in the Chesapeake Bay, off the coast of Virginia.
PS I posted only then I saw that I was not the first :(

[Stiletto]

However, you have to take away Jacksonville’s cap. For going to the oncoming lane and drunk driving ...

[suharev-52]

It’s funny to you, but it’s a very serious matter. The region is over saturated with interspecific military equipment. And even more so with nuclear carriers. And where there is too much technology, the possibility of inadvertently provoking a conflict that will turn into a war increases many times. And there, and before the use of nuclear weapons - not far. Sincerely.

[Zhmurkis]

Divorced these submarines there, honest fishermen from Tartus have nowhere to spit. Wherever you spit, you’ll get into the submarine. What else fishing can it be when there is a fleet of cars like in Moscow at rush hour.

[Region65]

US naval vessels periodically collide with each other and with other troughs both on their shores and in the oceans ... and how recently some kind of imbecile was smart enough to write that this woeful fleet will sweep away the Russian fleet in a matter of minutes? .. .... the fact that in a real naval battle these downs will overwhelm each other is a fact, in fact, their infantry likes to do such things :))))) to wet each other in a panic ....
