Talk:List of submarine and submersible incidents since 2000

Not Surfacing?

I noticed an inconsistency on this page - at http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/USS_San_Francisco_%28SSN-711%29 and other places it says the sub was not surfaceing as earlier CNN reports said. Perhaps this reference here should be fixed? - --Lake Conrad (t) 10 Feb 2007

Only since 2000?

Why only include incidents since 2000? --ChrisRuvolo (t) 15:30, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I was wondering about that myself. Where's the undoubtedly long list of pre-2000 submarine incidents? Captain Quirk (talk) 02:31, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Hartford grounding out of place?

The Hartford Grounding seems a bit out of place on this page. Just curious if anyone else agrees. The whole thing seems pretty minor compared to Kursk, San Francisco, or basically any of the others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.112.49.143 (talk • contribs)

I guess that depends on your POV. 9 million dollars and two naval careers is a fair amount of damage.

Should we:

• Change the parameters of the list to include incidents where there was loss of life ? in which case you exclude "The AS-28 Emergency", "USS San Francisco Grounding"...
• Add "cost" criteria to the incident - i.e. 1 human life or damage/repairs exceeding X million dollars ?
• Add some other criteria ?
• Expand it to include ALL submarine incidents since 2000 i.e. add the two other incidents involving USS Greeneville that have occured since the original ?

What does everyone else think ? Megapixie 02:07, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I can assure you that as far as the USN is concerned, the Hartford incident is an extremely serious one. Merely being in the wrong area for a day while underway is a serious "out of area" incident. Any collision of any kind involving a capital ship is considered serious, whether there was damage sustained or not.

Its great that the Navy is concerned. Incidents such as this are a big deal to them and they should be. But everytime a ship bumps into a pier, or an MS spills coffee in the wardroom doesn't need an entry on wikipedia. Let's note it on the individual ship page, just as Greeneville's Ogden and Saipan incidents are.

I think there should be a loose policy of limiting the entries on this page to things that are truly "major". I can think of about 10 things off the top my head that are along the lines of the Hartford incident and that happened after 2000. People in the Navy work very hard to operate safely, but the price of going in harms way is that minor mistakes happen and all too frequently. I feel that to have the Hartford incident on this page, almost dishonors the men of the Kursk and Ming 361 by attempting to equate the severity of the incidents.

As a separate issue, the whole long article on the Hartford is a mistake in itself. It looks to be a recopy of the original investigation report. These Navy reports always make it sound as if there are 100 untrained idiots driving the ship around instead of 100 intelligent overworked, underslept people working hard to do a difficult job under extraordinarily difficult circumstances. The Navy should write reports like this for internal use only in order to maintain its strict standards. But posting the mishap report here gives everyone not familiar with the Navy the wrong idea.

Just my two cents ...

PS "Out of Area" is serious. But, you can't be out of area if you're on the surface.

Categorization for 'Major?'

What Categorization System is being used to define 'Major?' Doing a quick survey of the internet, the US DoD has a system of A to D which defines it both in dollar amount and type of harm caused. Looking at the items on this list, most, if not all would properly belong here, but having a definite source lends credence to the term 'Major.' The reference to my comments is: http://www.la.ngb.army.mil/soh/Accident%20Reporting.htm which is a US Army website. I suspect the US Navy has a similar equivalent, as would most (if not all) other navies. Edmund macSilma (talk) 02:20, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Cause of Death Ming 361 sinking

"The cause of the accident is not known, but it is believed that the crew suffocated due to malfunctioning diesel engines, which consumed all the oxygen present in the interior of the submarine." I thought that diesel engines are only used when a submarine is running on the surface. Is this true or not? If it is true, then how would the entire crew die?Seki1949 (talk) 02:35, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

what is SOCT?

"HMCS Corner Brook (formerly HMS Ursula) ran aground in Nootka Sound off the coast of Vancouver Island on June 4, 2011, while conducting SOCT." DHR (talk) 21:23, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Missing incident

This MAIB report documents an incident involving an unnamed Royal Navy submarine and a fishing vessel in 2015. Mjroots (talk) 06:28, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

Added Maintenance British English tag

I noticed this article has a mixture of US and British English spellings. As the article already has a dmy tag added years ago and the split is pretty equal I decided British English makes more sense. Maintenance tag added and spellings changed. AussieWikiDan (talk) 14:54, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Russian B-237 "Rostov-na-Donu" missile attack

This paragraph does not belong in this list, as it is neither an accident nor an incident but an act of war. DrmedWurst24513 (talk) 00:02, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

It is an incident. Incident is defined as "an event, esp. one that is either unpleasant or unusual". An act of war can also be an incident. Basetornado (talk) 15:36, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Add A Fact: "China's nuclear submarine sank"

I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below

China’s newest nuclear-powered submarine sank pierside in the spring and the Chinese Navy tried to conceal the loss

The fact comes from the following source:

https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/26/politics/chinese-nuclear-powered-submarine-sank/index.html

Here is a wikitext snippet to use as a reference:
