US Nuclear Sub Crashes Into US Navy Amphibious Vessel
Kugrian writes "Showing that it's not just the British and the French who have trouble seeing each other on the high seas, a US Nuclear submarine yesterday crashed into a US Navy heavy cruiser. The USS Hartford, a nuclear-powered attack submarine, was submerged as it crashed into the USS New Orleans in the strait of Hormuz, resulting in the spillage of 95,000 litres of diesel fuel. Both vessels were heading in the same direction when the collision occurred in the narrow strait and were subsequently heading to port for repairs. A spokesman for the 5th Fleet said that the USS Hartford suffered no damage to its nuclear propulsion system." According to the USS New Orleans' Wikipedia page, it's actually an amphibious transport dock.
This is the cover story, but what *really* happened?
It was a conspiracy, okay? Aliens. And Jews. Jewish Communists, actually. They aboard the ship, saw warning from the submarine officer and pulled the brakes on the ship because he made a bad joke (and sounded a little Arab). And the CIA had the whole thing on tape and we will never know.
Your vigilance however is highly appreciated. Without people always on the guard like this, submarine cowboys will be spooning every other vessel in the water for craps and giggles.
yours truly,
the naive people
