Hmmm.....whats a crescent kick?
Sounds Muslim.... Y'know Big Red, it seems like things have arrived at an impasse. You talking sheet and backed up by F lav'R Flav. I don't know [bleep] about cows but know enough to know when the billhillies start start displaying their base camp... I don’t know what any of that means?

... blaming "forces of nature".. Is that a euphemism for poor maintenance, or taking an old boat below it's crush depth?

Imploded, as expected. That Navy chief of staff is blowing smoke to save face of the crew. It had to be either a mechanical failure or crew error and either is as likely as the other. They claims it's in 3 pieces. Have to wonder if it cracked along the welds, or what?

Is Obama still an Indonesian citizen? Or did he give that up after using it to get through university?
I'd imagine the Germans build a decent sub. They've been doing it a long time and have built several.

An implosion is like an explosion, but in reverse. The hull fractures inward and upwards of 3,000 psi water pressure slams into every possible place, rupturing bulkheads, decks, and everything else in its path. It is not a slow leak; it's an extremely violent event. The usual result is multiple large pieces of structure and a large debris field of everything else.

The sub had a test depth of 800 ft. If its crush depth was 1500 ft the water pressure would have been about 665 psi.

Any bets against that they forgot to batten down the hatch?

Hmmm. The online depth/pressure calculator I used gave me an answer in atmospheres, so I multiplied by 14 to get psi. Somehow, my meager math skills let me down again. A different online calculator gives me roughly 875 psi at 600 meters or just under 2,000 feet LINK Math errors aside, there are a whole damn lotta square inches on a sub, so 875 psi translates to a huge amount of pressure.

I find subs fascinating machines and sub warfare intriguing. A lot of my favorite movies have subs starring in them, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to work on one beyond the dock it's tied up to.

Guys used to stash a styrofoam coffee cup in the conning tower before a deep dive. I was told they were much smaller when retrieved.

During World War II, the U.S. Navy's submarine service suffered the highest casualty percentage of all the American armed forces, losing one in five submariners. Some 16,000 submariners served during the war, of whom 375 officers and 3,131 enlisted men were killed.

oh man, i got a chuckle out of quite a few comments on this thread.
truth be told, bumping around indonesia, taking rickety trains, sketchy ferries and dangerous taxi rides with my family might be my best memories in life
indonesia is very diverse culturally. from sharia law in northern sumatra where separatists are fighting the jakarta government, to animist types in western guinea, to hedonistic balinese hindu's to christians occupying timor.
28million christians in the country.. but [bleep], they darkies. lol

The Grunion was lost on its first war patrol. As unfortunate as their loss was, I feel honored that they are resting in our waters. Even though that's still about 850mi W of me from the tip of the AKPEN. Military.com Aug 2019
