英国“每日电讯”2015年4月4日报道,英国核潜艇HMS Talent(S92)撞上浮冰,造成潜艇上形成一个6英尺的凹洞,潜艇只能以半浮状态返回港口。
这艘5300吨的潜艇属于三叶草级,它是在北海到北极圈海域追踪一艘俄罗斯潜艇时发生碰撞事故的。英国国防部拒绝透露更多消息,英国海军正在对事故进行调查。
1981年,英国另一艘核潜艇HMS Sceptre在相近海域与苏联潜艇K-211相撞。HMS Sceptre上的官兵被命令说是与浮冰相撞,真正原因多年后才揭露。
英国海军发言人的说法很有技巧,能把坏事说成好事,不好翻译,转载到这里。
Striking ice is a problem of the environment we work in. Some patches of ice show up on our scanners but not all, with the density of the ice also being a factor. On this occasion some damage was sustained by HMS Talent.
A submarine is a very pressured environment and a lot can go wrong. You’re in a tin can under the sea tracking Russian subs and trying not to get found ourselves. HMS Talent’s captain, helmsman and her officers will have been making multiple calculations simultaneously and working in very testing conditions.
