RE: Suspicious Submarine Collision?
"Suspicious" as in there is an amusing and likely highly improbable story behind this, which will come out eventually, not that it was a conspiracy or something nefarious.

US subs ran into Russian subs several times during the first cold war, go read silent service. If fact even today any time a Russian sub has an accident at sea they still blame the USN![:D]

Those days however atleast one party was aware of the others presence.
Apparently the french and british submariners didn't even realise that they had hit another sub. They only realised that when they arrived at port, damage was inspected and they learned that the other navy also had a boomer have a similar accident.

It wasn't that long ago that a US sub accidentally rammed a Japanese vessel of some sort. Ooops.
History began July 4th, 1776. Anything before that was a mistake.
