I do remember Mooney and Hagar both when they posted here. And thanks for posting that news story. I remember seeing the photos of 711 when she returned and in dry dock...That was no grounding of 711. That boat crashed into a mountain at full speed. To me grounding infers bouncing off the bottom, or something similar like that. |

Why so touchy! Just a matter of opinions, regardless of what navy official designates it.

Good question. In a "normal" grounding there isn't a death and the majority of the crew are not injured. Pretty obvious that this was a whole different event. Be interesting to see how the Navy classified it. He certainly wasn't appreciative of learning about a serious submarine event that he somehow had missed. Maybe he just likes to be "right?" |

OK Enough of this argument of what the accident was called. The Navy calls it a grounding, so it was a grounding.

Mike, all of the above is navy BS in trying to mitigate the fact that this boat crashed into a mountain in which personel died, many were injured and the boat was in danger of sinking if not for the bravery of it's crew. Period; case closed. |

I stumbled across an alternative explanation of the incident. I DO NOT vouch for the validity of this point of view. This for your amusement and entertainment ONLY.
