Default Cruise Ship Runs Aground in Atlantic ICW - Obstruction Blocks Traffic

Maybe 10-15 years ago, one of those sub bow waves capsized a commercial
fishing boat near the Kings Bay sub base in Georgia, and my memory on the
event is vague, but I think there were drowning deaths. The sub captain,
an arrogant ass, said something like "deal with it." He's driving a bait
boat now.


I doubt that. The subs that use to base at Mare Island always had CG
escorts. And the bow wave exceeds anything else that I have ever
witnessed as to wakes. And I fish near a couple of the offshore channels
to SF bay.


Subs are always escorted out of near harbor areas and an exclusion zone for
other boat traffic is strictly enforced.
