I think it is actually named for his father who was an admiral.

Things will really look bad if one of our subs crashes.

US Subs have run into other vessels many times. The Snook caught a tow line with her sail, and there have been several collisions between US and USSR subs during the Cold War, and other times.

I had an uncle in the navy,  he reported that subs bump into each other a lot more than one might think.  However, especially due to the nature of sub missions; I would assume, that most are not known to the public.  He even told me about a time, where the could hear another sub sinking.  However could not help, because either they or the other subs country, couldn't acknowledge that it was in the area. 

I don't think I could serve on a sub!

I joined the Navy in '72, and was going to go subs, as that seemed the easiest way to avoid getting shot. When I found out that they could submerge for up to 6 months, I made sure not to end up on one.

Quote:The USS John McCain was sailing through the Strait of Malacca and preparing to stop in Singapore when it struck the Liberian-flagged vessel.
A search and rescue operation is under way.
It is the second serious collision involving a US Navy ship within two months.


Come on, guys.  Look at the radar screens!

All the navy ships are stealthy now, which seems to bring with it the unfortunate side effect that no one can see them until they smash into the side.
