Something TERRIFYING Happened To This Submarine

Summary by Krater

This video examines maritime disasters and near-misses involving submarines and fishing vessels trapped or snagged underwater, detailing specific incidents including the USS Thresher, the USS Skipjack, and the sinking of the fishing boat Antares.

From the video

Answers: What are some of the most terrifying underwater disasters and close calls involving submarines and fishing boats?

• Submarine accidents and implosions
• Ocean eddies and currents
• Submarine command training courses
• Fishing vessel bottom trawling and midwater trawling
• Underwater sonar detection and search operations

What it concludes

• Submarines operating near maximum operational depth face extreme pressure risks that can lead to catastrophic implosion if pipes burst or systems fail.
• The 1963 disaster of the USS Thresher resulted in the loss of all 129 crew members after it exceeded test depth following a pipe failure.
• Underwater ocean eddies can generate powerful forces capable of dragging submarines and fishing vessels toward crush depth.
• The 1990 sinking of the fishing vessel Antares occurred because its trawl line snagged an underwater submarine during an exercise, dragging the boat under.
