That sub hit an undersea mountain. The welders who build ours subs are probably the best in the world.




I think that was his point, he was being sarcastic. The sub hit something big yet survived (there were some fatalities but as you can see the sub remained intact). As you pointed out the integrity of the welds and good designed saved a lot of sailors lives that day. Running into an underwater mountain at 25 knots is typically a bad idea.
