In 2009, Two French and British Submarines Had a Bad Collision
“The French submarine had took a massive chunk out of the front of HMS
Vanguard and grazed down the side of the boat.”
Here s What You Need to Remember: The solution to avoiding further collisions would be to coordinate sub patrols between nations to avoid operating in the same place at the same time but that runs counter to the paranoid logic underlying ballistic missile patrols. After all, even information shared between allies could theoretically be obtained by a hostile nation to help track down the missile submarines and take destroy them.
