Japanese Sub Collides With Ship

Wintesses report that the sub was taking up two lanes in the ocean, going too slowly, and may have had its blinker on for several nautical miles. The sub Asashio now has a dent on its dorsal hull.

A Japanese submarine collided with a civilian cargo ship during exercises in waters off southern Japan Tuesday, defense officials said. There were no immediate reports of any injuries.

No injuries were reported among the 75 crew members of the submarine Asashio. But the spokesman said officials found a dent in the top part of the sub, the apparent result of striking the hull of the ship while surfacing.

Do they fire you for wrecking a sub? I think so.
