Rightfully so I guess. Not like you want to broadcast that nuke subs are in limp home mode until they're home and the nukes are protected. Kinda baffling though how the ocean can be so big and still they collide two subs somehow. Leave it to france to find a way.

this is very true the last thing you would want is for the world to know you have 2 ships in limp mode..

maybe they where playing tag..

IF it's on CNN I don't see where it's covered up. Take a lot more than a glorified fender bender to cause a nuclear concern. Suprised it made the news at all

Article said it was a couple weeks ago. Hence covered up til they could secure their respective "whips". :durr
