	Major submarine incidents since 2000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The explosion and the flooding by high pressure seawater killed the majority of the submarine's 118 sailors, but twenty-three survived in the stern of the submarine, and despite an international rescue effort, died several days later either from a flash fire or suffocated due to a lack of oxygen.
		Of the skeleton crew of ten aboard the submarine, nine perished in the cold waters of the Barents Sea.
		The submarine was trapped and sank to the seafloor at a depth of 190 m (600 ft), too deep for the crew to escape the submarine and swim to the surface.

	Submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since the limitations of the propulsion systems of early military submarines forced them to operate on the surface most of the time, their hull designs were a compromise.
		Military submarines are generally divided into attack submarines, designed to operate against enemy ships, including other submarines, in a hunter-killer role, or strategic ballistic-missile submarines, designed to launch attacks on land-based targets from a position of stealth, also known as "boomers" in the United States Navy or "bombers" in the Royal Navy.
		Submarines designed for the purpose of attacking merchant ships or other warships are known as "fast attacks", "hunter-killers", "fast boats", or "fleet submarines" (which terms are not synonyms; each is a different design for a different mission).

		Since the limitations of the propulsion systems of early military submarines forced them to operate most their time on the surface, their hull designs were a compromise.
		The names of Royal Navy submarine classes, including ballistic missile submarines, are letter-based; thus, all boats of the Swiftsure class begin with the letter S and the Trafalgars, the letter T. Royal Navy submarines were originally designated alphanumerically, such as HMS A1 of the A-class of 1903 (built by the pioneer designer, John P. Holland).
		Where Japan had the finest submarine torpedoes of the war, the USN had perhaps the worst, the Mark 14 steam torpedo, with a Mk 6 magnetic influence exploder designed to explode under the hull of the target vessel and a Mk 5 contact exploder, neither of which was reliable.

		Royal Navy submarines classes, including ballistic missile submarines, are letter-based; thus, all boats of the Swiftsure class begin with the letter S and the Trafalgars, the letter T. Though this has been the way with all Royal Navy submarines, they were originally designated alphanumerically, such as HMS A1 of the A-class of 1903.
		The first military submarine was the Turtle, a hand-powered spherical contraption designed by the American David Bushnell that was designed to accommodate a single man. It was the first verified submarine, capable of independent underwater operation and movement, and the first to use screws for propulsion.
		There were two Russian submarine incidents, and in both cases the submarines in question were lost, along with three United States submarine incidents, one Chinese incident, and one Canadian incident.

		AS-28 is a miniature submarine of the Russian Navy belonging to the Project 1855 Priz class.
		The aerial, anchored by 60-tonne concrete blocks, snared the propeller of the submarine, and the submarine then sank to the seafloor at a depth of 190 m (600 ft).
		On August 7, all seven sailors were rescued after the cables snaring their submarine were cut by a British remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

		Even the Kursk, an Oscar II submarine that carried out high profile missions and was commissioned only six years ago, was not fully funded by the federal government: Its crew was sponsored by the Kursk regional government.
		Since the sinking of the Kursk, Russian President Vladimir Putin has promised to create naval rescue centers, but recent media reports suggest the federal government is unlikely to fund them.
		The large number of incidents of theft from decommissioned submarines alone indicates that the navy is unable to cope.

	Russian submarine K-141 Kursk - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The training exercise of August 2000 was to be the largest summer drill since the collapse of the Soviet Union ten years before, involving four attack submarines and the Fleet's flagship Peter the Great amongst a flotilla of smaller ships.
		On August 12, 2000 at 11:28 local time (07:28 UTC), the missiles were fired, but an explosion occurred soon after on the Kursk.
		The submarine sank to a depth of 108 metres, approximately 135km (85 miles) off Severomorsk, at 69°40′N 37°35′E.

		The conventional wisdom, and the official position, on the impact of the year 2000 problem is that there will be a few days of hardship followed by a series of small inconveniences.
		Triaxsys Research found that year 2000 budgets within the Fortune 500 rose by 48% between Q1 1998 and Q3 1998 and again by 11% between Q3 1998 and Q4 1998.(4) This is an indicator that companies that had been working on the problem for several years had underestimated their level of effort.
		The year 2000 has exposed this and hopefully this is a direction that we can all turn to in unison.

		The incident prompted the inspection of the insulation of a certain type of old (TC Green, 1948 to 1962) signal wiring that may be still in use in thousands of signals nationwide.
		This contrasts the design of a submarine, where everything is exposed in an effort to show failure as soon as possible, with the design of a commercial airliner, where everything is hidden to always make the flight appear as smooth as possible to the passengers.
		Since it was before the site launch, I was somewhat worried about this as the site was hosted on an NT box and I had yet to do my final security checks to verify that we'd closed all of the default wide-open security settings.

	The USS Scorpion - Mystery of the Deep
		But Beshany, the director of submarine warfare at the time, said in a recent interview that Pentagon officials had been concerned the Soviets were developing a way to support warships and submarines at sea without requiring access to foreign seaports for supplies.
		Shortly before the submarine USS Scorpion sank on May 22, 1968, killing its 99-man·crew, U.S. intelligence officials learned that a group of Soviet warships operating in the Atlantic possibly knew that the sub was on its way to spy on them.
		A career submarine communications expert, Walker had just transferred to Atlantic Submarine Force headquarters in Norfolk, Va. There, he worked as one of four supervisors in the high-security communications center where messages to and from submarines on patrol were processed.

		The incident was largely covered up until a class-action suit was filed by local residents, who successfully sued for $30 million over cancer and thyroid abnormalities contracted due to their proximity to the facility.
		This incident pre-dated remote-control assembly of such components, but the hazards of manual assembly were known at the time (the accident occurred during a procedure known as "tickling the dragon's tail").
		The incident, which occurred in the Pacific Ocean approximately 200 miles east of Okinawa, was not reported by the Department of Defense until 1981.

		But ever since the Mac came out, our operating systems have been based on metaphors, and anything with metaphors in it is fair game as far as I'm concerned.
		Since computer time was a scarce resource, we used a sort of batch processing technique.
		Since then I've always thought of that man as the personification of an interesting human tendency: not only are we not offended to be dazzled by manufactured images, but we like it.

		The State Duma rejected the draft resolution "On Preventing Submarine Collisions of Various Countries", which was submitted by Alexei Mitrofanov, Deputy Leader of the faction of the Liberal-Democratic Party and Nikolai Bezborodov, Deputy Chair of the Duma Defense Committee.
		The white paper, called "China's National Defence in 2000," aims to "express Chinese people's sincere aspirations for peace and to help the rest of the world better understand China's national defence policy and its efforts to modernize its national defence": White Paper on Defence Policies, (China Daily, October 17, 2000).
		U.S. officials are considering a Russian proposal to forge a new bilateral agreement designed to prevent dangerous submarine incidents at sea, an arrangement that would build upon a 1972 pact that covers surface ships but not submarines.
