The fishermen were already on their way back to the fish farm when they were called by the Coast Guard. The USS Virginia, a 370-foot, 7,800-ton U.S. Navy nuclear submarine, had become entangled in their nets, the fishermen were told.

The USS Virginia, part of a fleet that regularly operates in the Arctic and had recently left the Norwegian city of Tromsø, belongs to a class of fast attack submarines equipped with modern sonar and stealth technology. Despite this advanced equipment, the submarine was stopped by a simple fishing net.

Yeah no, the Russians have nothing to fear from NATO  :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL:

If that had been a Russian sub, western media would be laughing at them and calling them incompetent and weak. It's a funny old world.

If it had been a Russian sub, they'd have been correct to call them incompetent and weak, just as they are when it happens to a U.S sub.
