Nuclear subs collide. "No worries" says spokesman.

Apparently a French and a British sub collided somewhere at sea, they're not saying where, it's an official secret. An expert explained that the collision occured because "These people have spent a lot of time and money making themselves invisible."
Successfully it would seem.
But surely they could see each other coming before they actually collided? Aaahh. No windows... Well how do they do it out in space then? Couldn't they at least fit cameras?
This time there was no release of nuclear material, hence the declaration that there was no problem, but surely two subs hitting each other, especially when at least one of them was fully tooled up with nuclear warheads, is some kind of a problem? How many nations are there out there threatening to bump into each other? And don't try to tell me it's no more likely than two satellites colliding in space because that happened a few days ago as well, and they told us not to worry about that either.
I bet Murdoch's getting a bit panicky over it though.
It's an ill wind...
The good news is that no British and US subs will collide with each other. According to the expert those two nations tell each other where their subs are. I wonder how the rest of the world feel about that?
Come to think of it, it was Britain that told the US that Saddam Hussain had WMDs, and it was the US that actually believed it to the point of going to war.
You know what? Somehow I don't think we can discount the notion of a US sub and a UK sub meeting up unexpectedly just yet...
