Two nuclear powered submarines, carrying an unknown number of nuclear warheads.

One British, one French, both allies in the NATO nuclear deterrent strategy.

Both equipped with the latest state of the art sonar detecting technology.

Both equipped with the latest state of the art anti-sonar detecting technology.

Both in the same part of the Atlantic ocean, at the same depth, at the same time.

They are travelling in opposite directions towards each other.

The techonology works brilliantly – neither detects the other.

Collision!!!!


Is this funny

           OR

                   Ironic

                              OR

                                       terrifying

                                                         OR WHAT?

    To be honest, I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already. In the early days of the Cold War, subs used to sneak up on each other close enough to get flash photographs of the other sub, and then sneak away. An actual collision at a substantial depth would probably destroy both subs.
