A US nuclear sub became just a bit too friendly with a Japanese oil tanker last night. Even allowing for the fact that subs don't have headlights, it is still hard to see exactly how you miss one of the biggest ships on the seas. It couldn't exactly have sneaked up on them. Maybe they were all eating beans on toast and when they heard a loud clanging at first thought it was some campanologists a bit late for Christmas before they realised that they had forgotten to put anyone on watch {the way my posts have gone recently I suspect I will now have a submarine commander complaining}. Yes it was a fast-attack sub, but fast is relative when you are talking about anything in or on the sea. The fact that the US have been asked to investigate would imply that it was the navy that are at fault.
This may be the ultimate happy slap!
