2010-10-24
One way or another, I'm sure there was a woman involved here somehow. :-)
Aren't all things that float on water "she"?

#3  Read what the local said. Subs always stayed 6 miles offshore...this one came in to within half a mile, into known shallow water? Why exactly?

#2  Easy enough for someone that hasn't been there to sit on their @$$ and criticize. This incident has just ended the captain's career and please tell me which crewmember caused this. Captaib's responsible but not necessarily the one that did bad. Go back to your toe picking before you spout off.

#1  As they waited for the tide to come in, Ross Mckerlich, operations manager of the local Kyle Lifeboat, said he was amazed the submarine tried to do a crew transfer where it did.

He said: 'These big subs normally lie six miles off Kyle. Last night I saw this one four miles off and now he`s less than half mile.

'He's gone inside the channel buoys - I can`t believe it. It`s very shallow there. I have never seen a sub as big as this come this close.

'Everybody who comes through the Kyle knows how shallow it is there.'

Dumbass captain. Subs don't belong anywhere but deep sea. What was he doing in so close?
