I don't know how the classification was made, but the first picture suggests that the sub was operating in broad daylight, within a few hundred meters of the coast, with masts and possibly the sail visible to the naked eye from shore??? This was either an on-board emergency, some very, very careless submariners (not something submariners in any country are known for), or something else entirely.
The incredibly short distance from the coast suggests the possibility of an unmanned submarine to me. Territorial waters start at 13NM; operating at the 12.75NM is like conducting military operations 12.75NM inside a country's sovereign borders.
- bojan 12y agoYou mean like 0.25NM inside a country's borders?
- jordanpg 12y agoNo, I mean 12.75NM. If you can take a picture of a submarine with your phone from the shore, it's within a few hundred yards.
- privong 12y agoI think the parent was confused due to your inconsistent/ambiguous use of reference points for distances (13NM away from the coast vs 12.75NM inside [apparently] of the maritime boundary). I experienced the same confusion, reading your original post.
