Nuclear Submarines Collide in Atlantic Ocean

[MrLehi99]

HMMMMM..... the french and the British, apparently they are trying to make up for world war II by crashing two subs into each other in a 700,000,000 square mile sea, the chances have to be less than none, like maybe 1/1000000000000, but hey, maybe they both have similar military routes they "sail" on.

[stefaan10111992]

"Attention, ça sera une collision!!!"

"Captain, what is that french guy yelling at the radio?"

[gavin0883]

How do you hit another object on the ocean by accident lmao you'd think there enough room to avoid each other

[MrLehi99]

@gavin0883 I concur.



[YouScroob]

Did they sink?

[SuperAncientmariner]

Having read the comments going back over the last 4 months, and having served 30 years in RN, 14 in subs, I would like to thank some people on here for entertaining me with some of the funniest and daftest remarks going.

[SuperBennettboy]

we shouldnt need nukes in the 1st place

[PsYcHoMaNtIs5151]

Y u no see me!?!??!?!?

[DR1ZERO]

If those idiots would sink and polute my ocean with their atomic shit it would not be very pleasent. Atomic energy and weapons should have never existed, pure human stupidity.

[TheCrapoo]

If they didn't spend millions of pounds making the ships undetectable, maybe they wouldve detected each other before the collision.... Or maybe the French were too busy running away to see where they were going....

[Vann7]

@TheCrapoo The possibilities of 2 submarines colliding in the middle of the ocean without being aware one of the other are next to impossible.. what most likely happened is that one country sub was shadowing the other ,testing its stealth abilities.. this is done virtually chasing the suibmarine tail or right under it ..if they stop abruptly or change course is when collision happens. This happens alot since every nation like to test their abilities chasing another.

[TheCrapoo]

@Vann7 sheesh... keep your pants on smart-arse, i was only joking.

people need to learn not to take everything so seriously.

[Xeno10O8]

How the fuck. All of the ocean around you, literally around you, and you happen to collide.

[Vann7]

@Xeno10O8 One SUbmarine was chasing another too close.. thats why.. its a friendly but dangerous game..where one nation was testing its stealth abilities.

[sportstuber11]

As John Adams stated, the French and British have been playing "never ending war games" for centuries.

[s14sr]

Did they exchange insurance and wait for the police to arrive?

[redFox914]

berluigm trianaga



[canadianbuck77]

English and French playing chicken. That rivalry will never die, the funny thing is that their culture and language is very intertwined.

[stanssoapbox]

The french hate the British, they probably did it on purpose.

[iownall12able]

@stanssoapbox we hate them right back :p

[Wormer83]

@stanssoapbox

LOL

[stanssoapbox]

I would love to see the insurance claim form.

[Mikuruification]

The news is soo fucking stupid

[basicproblem]

fail

[MrStiigg]

rofl, stealth technology is getting pretty good :P

[vellowfilms]

Wow, seems like a lot of people who know a lot about submarines and sonar. The government should hire you all to fix this! If people knew how difficult it is to track another submarine most people would be in shock.

[mardescrap]

Again, armchair military advisors at their best in the comment section.

[MegaPurplewaffle]

Your voice is so annoying :L

[1337ontoast]

who wants to bet they were playing chicken

[HooshIsASoup]

Hot sub on sub action!

[jenssoderberg]

Automatic dislike because of that stupid video effect. ..Now what where they talking about again?

[zizzy007]

The french were like RETREEEEEEAAAATTTT!!!!!!!

[777fatboyslim]

the fucking french wreck everything our submarines are stealthy and nuclear their submarines are two foot long and remote control

[WumseBiene]

there is an ocean big like hell......... an two little submarines collide there.....

its like an elephant and the 100th part of an ant but heyy its easy to hit each other in this relations.....

[CleoraSarayn513]

ha relax and enjoy my company

[SSDD454]

I didn't know British and French submarines didn't have sonar!

[deestilo]

2 submarines unable to detect each other.

I dunno that I suppose to be proud of UK and France Navy for being excellent submariners, evading sonar readout, evading detection, two stealthy bastards! or worry about the collision.

[kyussfan6]

heres how to detect a submarine. fuck sonar. PUT A DAMN WINDOW IN IT! haha

[bakalakpal]

@kyussfan6 thats a good idea...however windows cant survive the pressure submarines are used to

[TheLansoprazole]

where was IAEA ? 

[moko1117]

They were probably playing chicken. Trying to see who will pussy out before they crash. I guess they both didn't pussy out.

[airsoftlover23]

@simsek03 The whole point of a submarine is to be stealthy and to not be detected....

[derockshun]

another bit of useless info...why even let public know your mistakes?

[Evilektr0nyka]

What the fuck? Seriously... WHAT THE FUCK?!!?! How do two submarines just collide like that. What the fuck are they using to sense objects around them... a soup can telephone?

[jotabe1984]

those sonarman are gonna get it

[ALB437]

High time to introduce traffic lights!

[zaq4267]

Oops.

[marineooo5]

Cover up. I snuck up on you! No, i snuck up on you! No you didn't! Yes I did! Did not! Did to! Did not! Did to! Etc etc etc

[AccordGTR]

I'm guessing they were playing with each other, one sub trying to tail the other without the other knowing. Like in the book Hunt For Red October. Russia and US subs have collided because of this. US sneaking up behind while the Russian sub goes in a circle to check if any sub is behind her in their baffles

[MalisaMistieez893]

ehm i am ur girl toy

[OMBIC]

Next min, thay will be running into there target............. but yer, dos sound a little funny

[MultiDocdoom]

Lol they built those submarines NOT to b detected, Im surprised their hasnt been more collisons with how stalethy they are....

[aqualobster]

Bullshit two top of the line subs dont collide...this was a cover up story for a joint operation

[esterMarchand5465545]

so Im your ANYTHINGGIRL. i am new, ask me i give you what you want

[EattherichBuddy]

Taliban beware. We are spending millions to keep you in check. Poor people take heart, if you can't afford an education or food maybe one day you might catch a glimpse of these stalwarts of freedom cruising endlessly defending us from.....

[sarethums]

HMS vanguard! lol i left the navy after 6 months of bull shit and that was going to be my boat! thank fuck for that!

[Parrotguy1999]

Gee, how could they possibly not detect one another? Maybe it's got something to do with the fact that they spend billions making the damn things as hard to detect as they possibly can when they're building them?

[xXMordMikeXx]

Sorry...ahhh it was the rum that did it and wine. I saw you but I thought I turned the other way....if you come across a nuke...I fired one so....can you help me find it? Oh, what? Insurance? What are you talking about. Lol

[AwesomeSauce64]

Looks like Sean Connery forgot to check his blind spot...

[cssbeast]

ninjah subs thats how! our subs are so stealth they cant even detect eachother!

[jaimz2121]

dumbasses

[rawmouseius]

to many nukes? nah.

[vladimirlegorocks]

stealth when u want it

[TheDuckmonk]

This is why we painted ours yellow.

[3333glen]

It's because Brits drive on the wrong side of the road. Duh.

[xbeast133]

@3333glen WIN

[tht1drnkrussian]

@3333glen lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololol

[GayBoyRunning]

@3333glen Theres no roads at sea. Duh!

[blazednsleepy]

@GayBoyRunning

Keep running gay boy.

[GayBoyRunning]

@blazednsleepy Aww is that all you got, hey?

[ambientdweller]

@3333glen ...You mean 'DIVE'..!!!

[lamoboy]

lol "how the submarines could have failed to DETECT each other" technology is at its prime!

[jcaled24]

I guess neither sub crew is very good at tracking other subs. I just don't get how they could fail to detect each other....well maybe the French, but not the British!This would never happen in a Nimitz!

[tperley]

At least the french learned to point the sub in the right direction, that's a step up from their performance in WW2.

[mardescrap]

@tperley

Still better than whatever you did regarding WWII, kid.

[CurtMortis]

Sounds like AP is trying to scare people as usual. You can't explode a nuclear weapon without a complex chain of chemical reactions.

[destercros]

@CurtMortis maybe you should do some research( ;

[homskoult]

How about getting your ass thrown out of India, and they didn't fire a shot. And as far as WWII, I remember 8th air force taking horrendous casualties because they flew daylight raids, while you pussies flew night raids.

[Mastermind8908]

Why does a sub need 16 nuclear missiles? In case they miss with the first 15?

[homskoult]

@Mastermind8908 Each missle has multiple warheads- 16X7.

[Mastermind8908]

@homskoult That seems even less comforting. :S

[ScopedPewPew]

@Mastermind8908 To make a bigger boom duh

[dhoulkarnain]

RETARD ALERT

[panacioo]

i was fishing and this masiv thing poped up on the depth sounder and my dad didnt know what it was, soon afterwards it disapeared and then 100m away a masive sub came out of the water and went over to the dock. it was the most amazing thing i had ever seen

[jujitsuman68]

comments from the yanks are so funny. cocks. lol

[homskoult]

@jujitsuman68 While you are laughing consider this. Twice we have come across the Atlantic, to save your ass, and f--k your women.

[jujitsuman68]

@homskoult another cunt a, joined in the both wars when it suited yea a. main part of ww2 battle of britain no fat yanks there. lets not even mention ww1 you cock. as for fucking are women only the sluts. by any chance you wasnt in korea or vietnam was yea bitch or shouldnt i mention them arse kicked wars. :)

[jcaled24]

@jujitsuman68 You need a serious history lesson.

[jujitsuman68]

@jcaled24 wind your neck in dickhead, i know my history very well, we dont go around saying we won this and we won that. we no what part we played in both world wars and thats from START to FINISH not half way through them. cock.

[jcaled24]

@jujitsuman68 doesn't sound like it..

[jujitsuman68]

@jcaled24 go away you fucking tit.

[falimario]

Soon or later this was going to happen...the brits sailing by the left and the frenchies by the right...what could you expect?

[Dorisequador]

Volunteer in africa why the fuck would I wanna do that>??? Black fly's sickness and insects.. ashhhhhhhhhhh fuck why don't rich africans help those little poor areas?? Especially th Jews who take their dimonds.

[jeremycharleswood]

shoulder check fail.

[TheSkiddey]

no wonder they suck at fighting their own wars.

[AndreisEntaro]

Two highly engineer submarines designed from end to end for the singular purpose of hiding underwater. Their location, routes, operational areas and depths are intentionally secret. And the first question the politicians want answered? "Why didn't they detect each other?" ...Derp

[nightkraawler]

billions of dollars , and they couldnt afford a couple of side mirrors?

[SirSmokesAlot210]

u think they exchange sub insurance?

[nrjelley]

Its probably the French's fault, it always is! =)

[homskoult]

@nrjelley The French being aggressive, I guess it could happen, but what are the odds.

[BunnyTheMean]

I'm just thinking how the hell could this happen... It's the atlantic ocean, what is the chance of a collission? o:

[kunalchanna]

hey the subs did their job ...they are stealth ahha

[lexichronicle2]

A year later, HMS Astute got stealthily stuck on a sand bank, and subsequently became unstealthy. It then collided with the tug boat trying to pull it free.

Never mind replacing Trident, lets get them a driving license first.

[Jyrki1964]

Let's just make one thing clear. These boats are built not to be detected. They are ghosts. They did their main job perfectly. Unfortunately this time and space their paths intertwined. Luckily with no major damages to anyone.

[Ultraviolentjunglist]

They are gona investigate how they didn't detect eachother. Isn't that the point of a submarine being undetectable?

[aikerz07]

isnt the ocean is big enough for this guys?

[alistairrossdavis]

the reason you cant detect them is coz the nuke submariens there suposed to be undetectable

[hlynch93]

Apparently, because they're both members of the European Common Market Commonwealth Bloody Club, they've both got the same equipment - rendering them both invisible! A phone call would've done it. "Where are you going this morning? Oh, we were gonna go there!" -.-

[rcdude34]

i didnt know how sexy this video was =)

[alexx0155]

2011 or 1978  wat year we are on cmom tecnology 2011 please wat really happens ?

[Dorisequador]

That figure it's French no wonder it crashed.

[TragenVenture]

Submerged! A fresh underwater strategy combat game for the iphone, ipad, and ipod. This submarine game puts you in control to navigate the seas, battle enemies, and discover what else is out there.

[TheMasterBlaster27]

I like to think when gays see submarine's in the water the swim naked with there pants off, and ass up. "wating for a strike"

[saintluke87]

@TheMasterBlaster27 im sure you think about all sorts of gay men with pants off scenarios...

[Jyrki1964]

Today Russia has 17 active duty SSBN subs, USA has 14 and France & UK both 4 subs.



[randomdotification]

@Jyrki1964 soon the uk will have 11 subs on its own and 7 of them will be the best submarine in the world - astute class

[Jyrki1964]

@randomdotification

I know. Astute class is SSN type of subs. They are nuclear powered, but do not have ballistic nuclear missiles. They are "hunter-killers".

As will be the new french Barracuda class subs. 6 are planned to be constructed in the future.

[Jyrki1964]

Do England have helicopter carriers and a land assaut capable of a ship?

Like Mistrall class

[drunkest100]

@Jyrki1964 Yes. One H/c carrier HMS Ocean, though the 3 recently retired Invincible class carriers were originally intented as H/C carriers with only a secondary purpose as VSTOL carriers. Two LPD ships (the Albion class), not enough in my opinion, we're a shadow of our former selves.

[amirali23]

Oh wow, out of all the 3 dimensional directions you could move in the ocean, two submarines get really close and collide. And they are not just any submarines, they are nuclear submarines....

[JMJMad1]

to all who have seen the film yellow submarine:

This is what happens when you change direction in the sea of time.

[Jyrki1964]

Both were SSBN -type of subs. Armed with nuclear missiles. There are also other type of subs; so called "hunter killers", that are not armed with nuclear missiles. Their job is to hunt and find other subs (SSBN) and kill them before they launch their nuclear arms.

[TheTRAVISJUNIOR]

@Jyrki1964 the hunter killers are called SSNs correct?

[Jyrki1964]

@TheTRAVISJUNIOR

Usually yes. SSN simply refers to nuclear powered submarine. Most of them are so called hunter-killers.

SSBN refers to nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine. They are "boomers", the most feared war machines existing today.

[bloo96]

Oops

[ZucchiniSlayer]

@bloo96 The fact it was a collision between french and british subs? just makes it better.XD

[drunkest100]

@ZucchiniSlayer All that i'm worried about is who won the collision?? I hope it was us!

[GamerzHelpuh]

@bullsroblox ALL Missile submarines are designed as stealthy as possible to avoid detection... Stealth is the only defense they have... And what patrolling submarine would go around trying to be detected? That's like saying "Here I am! See me? I am right here and I am vulnerable!... Oh shit! He saw me!" T_T

[Jyrki1964]

@GamerzHelpuh

Both subs did their job perfectly. They were not detected. Unfortunately they were in the same area at the same time and at same level below the sea. Talk about odds to win a jackpot in lottery!!!

[bullsroblox]

@soulseek what if they wernt stealth subs

[SoulSeak]

I like how she says, "People want an explanation on how or why the submarines failed to detect each other." ..... that's the point of a submarine you dumb blond.

[Krumpeeh]

Failed terrorism attempt. They will make a film about a hardcore french commander [Jean Claude Van Dam] and how he tracked the terrorists down and slightly altered the submarines collision course. therefore only inflicting minor damage. It will be put forward for an oscar but will not win and then be on my shelf for the next 70 years.

[lemur12341]

after going to paris and seeing how the french drive, im not at all surprised

[coy935]

@lemur12341 haha

[mattyiena]

Lol, out of the 326 million cubic miles of water they have to navigate they manage to collide lol.

[Zaku1234567]

I don't think "a shot in the dark" does enough justice.

[SolarOfCore]

this is why everyone should drive on the left side of the road

[deetjay1]

Sounds like a "cat and mouse" game that featured two very old antagonists (allies to you doubters)...and got completely out of hand...

[Oceancolour5]

The subs only need to carry nuclear missiles in the build up of wars, otherwise, it's a bad decision.

[123coro123]

what are the Chances!?!?!?!



[glwithlife]

@123coro123 very very very very very slim lol, that's like 2 mice running into each other in the desert, it's really unlikely.

XD

[RasputinSir]

Submarines have collided w/ seamounts.They Can't see that well underwater at all.

[ProJectGroundsPS3]

i wonder how they crashed when theres like 10 billion miles of water

[skateboy159]

@ProJectGroundsPS3 thats what i was going to say lol

[seanpawn21]

This happens all the time because the oceans are so shallow and narrow

[CYBERVISIONSdotCom]

@seanpawn21 Aside from that, the biggest reason is that the French are complete idiots. When I was a submariner (U.S. Fast-Attack), on those occasions when we were contemplating the competency of Naval powers of the world, the Brits were always near the top - France didn't even make the list. The French Navy shouldn't even be allowed to sail the Atlantic on the surface, must less in a submarine.

[Fandalg]

@seanpawn21

Ya know scientists say the ocean makes up about .1% of the planet's surface. It's like whales in a swimming pool.

[cpk9999]

there should not be nuclear powered submarines. if war happens a submarine is seen as a threat to an opposing country and said country will try and kill it and when that happens the nuclear radiation isnt good for the ocean.

[Yezpahr]

@cpk9999

I call you a fool. Not you as a person, but the you who said that post.

Because seriously, you need to open your eyes and see that the news is spewing out these kind of shittraps non-stop.

It's all a diversion, a conspiracy, to keep you away from what you shouldn't know.

And no, I don't mean evil plans to take over tha world (cuz that has already happened).

I mean this: The mission involved retrieving Tech.

Some say USSR, some say Alien tech.

(Yes, I wrote Alien as a diversion)

[Spocktavian]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!  The human language cant express the level of "what the fuck".

[tackN2Wind]

The Associate Press AND anti-nuclear 'activists' can eat my soiled undershorts! 'Bunch 'a flaming bleeding heart liberals! Always exaggerating and panic-mongering anything related to nuclear energy! They're all a bunch of stateless EFFing communists seeking to destroy the USA and any other country whose citizens have liberty.

[K3nnyBoy83]

They Are Communicating So They Need Some Crash !!

[childernofwinter]

What are the odds.

[joer211]

look look guys, they just got done watching Red October, they wanted to see if the movie lived up to the real thing!

[kelzclive]

A French sub????? Why? For what? Sea excursions? Cause they sure as hell don't use it to fight. It must still have the dealer sticker on it!

[NOTguineapigeon]

French People "Zhe brits are over there, ram them!" and the British people "Lads, a bunch of frenchies over there, lets show em our cup of tea!" *And they crashed*

[Samiosamio111]

@NOTguineapigeon Lol

[drunkest100]

@NOTguineapigeon We call em frogs, not frenchies, I expect that the RN commander was thinking that the frogs would turn round and head in the other direction (like when they're in a war)

[xbox3111]

They dont know where the fuck it was hahahahaha look for the bigg ass hole in the ocean

[COOLBEANS997]

of course it involves the french military

[Mariah76197]

Her talk is very annoying

[MarcoAurelioAM]

british drive on the wrong side of the road...

[Bratcipheo]

@MarcoAurelioAM

no you idiot, we do.

[BannedMann]

please, dont drink and drive.

[CouchMonkeyVideo]

Did't they see the STOP sign? Amateurs...

[Jordendog]

Sea rage

[Patchu101]

What I cant understand is the French having a nuclear armed submarine. Dont get mad at me for saying this though because I know you feel the same way to an extent.

[modwebby]

@Patchu101 .. it's not like america is the only one that should have nuclear stuff..

[Josh44Tube]

@Patchu101 what's the problem with that haha

[kingdub3]

didn't they know that the ocean is very narrow?

xD

[WarpPal]

As cautious as Naval Officers have to be when driving a submarine anyways, theirs no way that happened by accident.
