The Drive: Submarine makes surface crossing from California to Washington
The damaged Connecticut nuclear submarine of the Seawolf type of the US Navy (Navy) was caught on video. The corresponding video was posted on Twitter by the user WarshipCam. The video drew the attention of the publication The Drive.
In the video, the submarine, deprived of the bow, makes a surface passage across the Pacific Ocean from San Diego (California) to Washington State. The submarine arrived in San Diego from Guam, where it arrived after a collision with a seamount in the South China Sea.
In October, The Drive, referring to US Navy veteran submariner Aaron Amick, wrote that the topography of the bottom of the South China Sea, in the depths of which the Connecticut submarine collided with an object, is subject to frequent changes due to tectonic activity.
In the same month, the former commander of the nuclear submarine, captain of the first rank Igor Kurdin, commenting on the possible circumstances of the recent collision of a US submarine with an object, said that at a safe depth of 45 meters, the submarine could not meet with any surface ship or vessel, including a tanker.
