Why cloaking devices may not be a good thing!

This would never happen to the Romulans? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7892294.stm

I don't understand why people are getting their panties in a wad over this. Back in the 80's, Soviet and American subs played Cat and Mouse all the time and it wasn't uncommon for them to bump into each other.

I think this time it was more a case of clumsy not-looking-where-we're-going-ness than part of some intentional cat'n'mouse game. Besides, we just like something to laugh at

Wait?

The French have Nuclear Subs?

Apparently, not having learned from the Maginot Line... the French had Siemans AG develop the silo technology for their land-based missiles and guidance packages for both the land and sea forces.

Kudos for developing a modern nuclear deterrence, EPIC FAIL for having your arch nemesis of two world-wars help you build it.

This is why i've always petitioned for horns to be fitted to subs. But nobody ever listens to me.

As long as the whales don't mistake it for a mating call. Try explaining that back at base

What about retractable horns that can be withdraw back into the sub, and extended out when they find themselves in hot water?

I think if they had that equipment they'd be better off with a cold shower

Submarines can't end up in hot water. The ocean depths are very very cold--- oh wait metaphorical hot water. Gotcha. Stupid engineering reflex.
