"Click each image to see the higher resolution photography at Navy.mil. Looks like it was a hard enough collision for the sail to get knocked to the starboard pretty good. No sailors were killed, and all sailors who were injured returned to duty"

The stick-uppy part of a submarine is called a "sail"?
- ⓞnor
Yes. Underwater currents flow against it, generating thrust. The pilot of the submarine can change the direction of the thrust via the swashplate.

ohh, that's gonna end some careers.And that security guy on the sail looks like he's lugging a big ol' M60 - Navy probably doesn't see much value buying expensive new small arms for their expensive new big arms :)
