In more breaking news, seems that the Nuclear Submarine Accident is more serious than first reported...in the words of a layman, the USS Hartford struck the USS New Orleans (LPD 18) with such force that it RIPPED OPEN THE HULL of the ship like a can of sardines spilling over 25,000 gallons of diesel fuel into the Straight of Hormuz...both Submarine and Ship are accessing damages...interesting that the Navy Press Release mentions only the fuel spill, avoiding discussion of damages to the nuclear submarine...if the Submarine RIPPED OPEN THE HULL of the USS New Orleans, it is predicted that said NUCLEAR SUBMARINE took serious FRONT END HULL DAMAGE...have the extremely sensitive series of piping necessary for SAFE OPERATION of the USS HARTFORD's nuclear reactor been impinged? Why isn't this submarine being TOWED INTO PORT....after all, with a NUCLEAR REACTOR ON BOARD, should not the Navy err on the side of the safety of the crew?
The accident is best described as, "USS HARTFORD, a dangerous Nuclear Submarine MAULED the USS New Orleans in an overnight incident of a significant nature.

A US Navy submarine and a US amphibious vessel collided in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday slightly injuring 15 sailors and creating a fuel spill of around 25,000 gallons, the US Navy said.
"The collision between USS Hartford (SSN 768) and USS New Orleans (LPD 18) occurred at approximately 1:00 am local time (2030 GMT on Thursday)," the Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet said. "Fifteen sailors aboard the Hartford were slightly injured and returned to duty. No personnel aboard New Orleans were injured," it added.

The New Orleans' fuel tank ruptured, causing the spill of diesel fuel. Both ships are operating under their own power, and the overall damage to both vessels is being evaluated, the statement added.
The Strait of Hormuz separates Oman from Iran and is the gateway into the oil-rich Gulf. An estimated 40 percent of the world's crude oil passes through the strait on the way to market. Both the submarine and the ship are on regularly scheduled deployments to the US Navy Central Command area of responsibility, the navy said.
Ships from the Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain, patrol a 7.5 million square mile (19.4 million square kilometer) area of eastern Africa, the Middle East and Southwest Asia.

The writer of this article has no idea about the construction of a nuclear submarine. There is not any nuclear piping in the forward end of the boat. As far as towing it in to port are you kidding. Why don't you fly out there and kick the engineering department in the balls and spit in there face. The Uss New Orleans hit the sub bc they couldn't see the sub bc it was submerged. The sub couldn't hear the ship bc it was coming from a blind point. Yes they both have damage but this is proof that we have some of the best sailors bc both the ship and the boat could easily have been sunk in an accident like this but the crews were able to scramble out of the rack and fight causilty and survive and not only survive but be able to go to port under their own power. This just goes to show you how good we are.
