Russian subs get caught as well: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-32333336 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-32333336 I seem to remember this happening quite often (yearly, maybe?) during the Cold War in the North Sea and around Norway.

A US submarine surfaced under a tourist boat near Hawaii; many died iirc. I think it was around the 2000s.

As the submarine shot to the surface, she struck Ehime Maru. Within ten minutes of the collision, Ehime Maru sank. Nine of the thirty-five people aboard were killed: four high school students, two teachers, and three crew members.

    Do subs not have a sensor at the top that's able to detect things like ships right above them?
    - Rinzler89 2y ago
      Yes it's called a sonar. And would they even need to fire the sonar for that? Even using passive sonar they should be able to hear there's a boat above them considering how sensitive their sonars are. But operational mistakes can happen no matter how many sensors you have.

        Also there's the periscope. And radio to warn nearby vessels.

  If you are thinking about the USS Greeneville colliding with the Ehime Maru 10 miles (16 km) off the coast of Oahu, then that ship was a training ship not a tourist boat.

  I remember hearing about this submarine collision back in the 90’s here in b.c. https://www.bst.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/marine/1994/m94w0078/m94w0078.html https://www.bst.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/marine/1994/m94w0... no fatalities thankfully, the scuttlebutt was that the insurance wouldn't cover a military accident.

Kill four innocent civilians and all that happened was one of the killers was "severely reprimanded"
