"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.

You must have heard the stories of a Bermuda Triangle at work out there in the Atlantic. LOL It could be we have no real idea of the effects of great depth could have on navigation, sonar, and compass readings, dow i deep water.

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.

They were actually practicing maneuvers for a future invasion of the American coast.
I, for one, welcome our new Brit/French overlords.
