SUBMARINE BLOGGING
Did you know there’s a group blog for submariners? Check out interesting analysis of the Russian sub drama over at Ultraquiet No More, where Rob writes:
The Russian navy has really declined badly…I remember they lost a sub to sinking during a tow (it was inactivated) a couple of years back, too. They may be a potential adversary, but I can’t help but feel bad for the Russian sailors, who are serving in a force that is more dangerous to them than their enemies. Submarines, above all others, have to “do it right” and there’s no room for half measures, cutting corners, or doing it “on the cheap”. One wonders if a USS San Francisco-type collision were to befall a Russian SSN if they’d make it up…or make it home?
At any rate, I’m relieved the sailors were saved. The Brits get the bragging rights at the pub, but in the end the important thing is that seven sailors will be going home to their families, and submariners around the world are celebrating this time instead of holding memorials.
Amen to that.
