sidewinder Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 News just in on the BBC that some form of distress alert has been activated for a submarine, possibly Canadian, in trouble off the Irish coast.. Submarine Story Apparently Nimrod aircraft from the RAF base at RAF Kinloss in Perthshire have been directed to the scene. Details at present are very unclear. If this is a Canadian submarine then it could well be one of the T2400 ex-RN 'Upholder' submarines traded to Canada some years ago. These are non-nuclear boats. Just hope this one isn't serious.

sidewinder Posted October 5, 2004 Author Report Posted October 5, 2004 From reports its sounds like either propulsion or steering gear failure and the good news is that communications have been established with the people on the board. If this is the case then it should hopefully just be a tow job. Quote
