#2 Saw a missile shoot kiboshed due to condensation backup in a fanroom hummidification line flood a launcher equipment room. I don't think subs usually have that problem.

#4 It's what they get for using those off-brand rocket engines instead of genuine Estes.

#6 Raj, I think Kursk was torpedo fuel that was too volatile. My only sub ride lasted two days. I was glad to be back above the waves. Don't mind being a submariner for a short time but it's been said eternity last forever.

#7 Wasn't the Kursk carrying torpedoes with some sort of hydrogen-peroxide as fuel? I think the UK lost a submarine while in a harbor to the same thing back in the 50s or 60s.

#9 Mostly off topic, but I couldn't let it pass.

George (contain their asses) Kennan turned 100 yesterday. Last tag, he wins.

#10 Russian technology. The best in the world!....for its price....when it doesn't blow up prematurely or fall apart, or decay, rust, crash, implode......okay maybe this isn't the best example to use.

#11 was it a giant typoon class sub, those beasts are incredable, i think there something around 28,000tons underwater

#12 Were they nuke missiles? That would make the headline "Fissile missiles fizzled." Try saying that fast five times.
