#3  Darth, the French knew immediately that they had hit something. It wasn't until later that they realized they had hit another submarine.

#2  Must have been really slow speeds for both submarines to not notice it until later. I'm just really glad no one was hurt.

#1  This is even a bigger problem for US subs than others due to our superior silent running, materials and coatings technology. It is our silent service's biggest worry - running into each other. Of course, the lower the speed the more silent and then the least damage (fingers crossed).
