Submarine hits underwater mountain
Todd Lappin sez: "A few weeks ago, my city's namesake submarine, the USS San Francisco, struck an uncharted undersea mountain while traveling in the South Pacific at a depth of 500 feet. At the time, apparently, the sub was traveling at almost full speed. One sailor died in the accident, and 20 more were injured. The Navy has released some photos of the San Francisco, now that she's been hauled into drydock. Wow." Link (WashPost backgrounder on the accident, and the uncharted mountain. Nice lil' gif of the ship's logo)
