I would like to wish the Canadian crew on board the HMCS Chicoutimi well, the last report I had yesterday was that the rescue vessels had not reached it yet.
I hope all is well and the rescue goes good as a US Submarine Sailor (retired) I know what they must have been going thru and my heart goes out to them.

My heart goes out to the families!!! The Government needs to be accountable though as they in my mind have neglected our military. As far as I see it, if you don't have the proper tools to do the Job, then don't do the Job!! These were used subs we purchased, and obviously the were trash to some other country!!!
When you whack them you better stack them!!!
Dispite the accident our government insists that the subs are good stuff. They expect us to just believe anything they say!
