British and French vessels had enough material to carry out 1,248 Hiroshima bombingsDefence chiefs are facing an inquiry into the safety of the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrent after British and French submarines, each laden with missiles powerful enough for 1,248 Hiroshima bombings, collided while submerged in the mid-Atlantic. HMS Vanguard, the lead boat of Britain's fleet of four V-class submarines armed with Trident nuclear missiles, limped back into its home port of Faslane in Scotland on Saturday showing significant damage. Witnesses said the hull was scarred with dents and scrapes.

Two subs running silent and running into each other on the main undersea trails is humorous. All else is fear mongering.
But, of course a joint task force of Hamas and Iranian soldiers taking scuba diving lessons was pounced upon by the Israeli government as an excuse to kill and main more people with very discriminate bombing of targeted neighborhoods. Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
