While some people are wondering why and how this crash happened, I think it is simple - these subs are designed to be as silent as possible and roam an area. In this case, they seem to have overlapped and found each other. Things happen when you are trying to hide in the dark. Duh!
I commend the skippers and crews of both ships for being so stealthy that the two ships collided! That is theoretically impossible because of the passive sonar technology that can identify almost any sound that is found under the sea. I also congratulate the scientists and engineers who designed these ships and systems for making them so well. Good job!
Sorry to hear about the accident. Better luck next time!

"The crash could have been a coincidence -- some people win the lottery -- but it's much more possible that one vessel was chasing the other, trying to figure out what it was."
