Why Multi-Billion Dollar Nuclear Submarines Still Run Into Things Underwater

On October 7, 2021, we learned that one of the U.S. Navy's prized Seawolf class nuclear fast attack submarines-one of just three ever built-had suffered a serious underwater collision. The incident supposedly occurred while the USS Connecticut (SSN-22) was operating in or very near the tumultuous South China Sea.

I just got done reading the article on The War Zone when I saw your email. Your information made the article very interesting!

Is that the actual picture of the Connecticut?

It struck me that the skipper will be sacked for this even without further investigation?

Nope it’s a Los Angeles class submarine. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_San_Francisco_(SSN-711)

The investigation would show that a serious mistake was made on his boat. Whether or not that mistake was his fault is immaterial. It’s his boat. We entrusted it to him because he said he would use it to protect us, and he wasn’t able to fulfill that promise.

Well done piece boys. 👏

A sub cannot be using its obstacle-avoidance/mine-hunting sonar when it wants to be stealthy. However, a laser proximity sensor would be useful to detect unexpected terrain. Being of short range and limited spread, it does not significantly affect the stealth of the sub.

Regarding the possibility of a container being involved in the collision. My hope is that out of this the US government finds a way (satellite imagery or or RADAR etc) to find flotsam containers and like GPS then releases it to the public. Semi-submerged containers have sunk many yachts over the years, and have killed good sailors.

I cant imagine a laser being useful at any kind of realistic range. The water attenuation of the light beam would degrade it to uselessness in under 100', even in clear water.
