Revealed here today that they had simutaneos electrical fires on two decks. Wow. Bet they don't train for that one.

Only slightly more amazing than why they were purchased in the first place.

as long as the hull is watertight, the sub will float, so its not amazing at all.

what is amazing is there was only 1 fatality.

I think if they hadnt mothballed them for so long they would have been fine. But what do I know.

Vorticon, I have seen three float-boats sink with hull intact.  There are beaucoup through hull fittings, and I am guessing some are electrically controlled on a sub.
