Japanese Submarine Soryu Damaged, Surfaces Under Chinese Freighter Share This: Dramatic pictures from Japanese media show the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (MSDF) submarine Soryu on the surface with a damaged conning tower and her starboard diving plane mangled. The Soryu is believed to have surfaced beneath a 50,000-ton Chinese Freighter named the Ocean Artemis which had set sail from Japan on Friday with a load of iron ore. Three minor injuries to the crew of the submarine have been reported. When the Soryu surfaced she appeared to have had her communications antenna deployed from the conning tower (also called the Sail) which was carried away in the collision. According to a statement released by the Japanese Minister of Defense Kishi Nobuo, the resulting damage to the comms antenna required the vessel’s crew to contact Naval Headquarters using a cell phone three hours after the accident, presumably when in cell phone range to the shore.
