two nuclear subs collided?


Nuclear subs 'collide in ocean'


A Royal Navy nuclear submarine was involved in a collision with a French nuclear submarine in the middle of the Atlantic, it has been reported.

The crash between HMS Vanguard and Le Triomphant is said to have occurred earlier this month.

The BBC's Caroline Wyatt said despite being equipped with sonar, it seems neither vessel spotted the other.

The UK's Ministry of Defence is not commenting on the reports, but insisted nuclear security had not been breached.
