A US Navy submarine and an American amphibious ship have collided
in
the
Strait of Hormuz.

The stretch of water is between Iran and the Arabian peninsula.

According to the navy's Bahrain-based 5th Fleet, the USS Hartford
submarine was submerged before the crash.

Fifteen soldiers aboard the Hartford were slightly injured but
able
to
return to duty.

No injuries were reported on the amphibious ship, the USS New
Orleans.

But the ship suffered a ruptured fuel tank, which resulted in an
oil
spill
of approximately 25,000 gallons of diesel.

The damage to both vessels is still being evaluated.

Both ships are currently operating under their own power. The
crash
is
currently under investigation.

The Navy said both ships were on regularly scheduled deployments
to
the
region and conducting security operations.

Officials said the collision happened about 1am local time.

"And this is the forward-looking sonar, the instrument that lets
you
know
if there is a submerged sub in the water ahead of you..."

Maybe our naval ships would be better "captained" by ferry boat
operators,
who are usually sharp enough to pay attention to where they are
going.

Was Flatulent Jim back on active duty?

More 'independent thinking', Don?

Well .....please warn me if you ever go back on active duty.
I'll stock up with provisions and board myself up in the basement.-

That's because I didn't, and you know it. YOU did, however fetch beer
for your son, and it was YOU who whined right here in rec.boats about
it.

Well, then give me the facts. Where did anyone who knows me, or my
daughter, ever say that *I* had anything to do with her breaking her
arms? What Georgia Bud are you talking about? Who ever said I smoke
ANYTHING? Also, are you denying that you stated here that you had to
go get more beer for your son?

Still looking for those "facts" that you claim to have........
You stated that I broke my daughter's arms. Let's see your "facts"
You stated that I grow pot. Let's see your "facts".
You stated that I smoke pot. Let's see your "facts".

Now, you stated right here in rec.boats that your son drank all of
your beer and you had to go get more. THAT is fetching him beer.
