Bear Attacks Sub

[budanski]

During the ICEX 2003 naval exercises near the North Pole, the American submarine Connecticut (SSN 22) poked it's sail and rudder through the ice. When an officer looked around outside via the* periscope, he noted that his sub was being stalked by a hostile polar bear. The periscope cam was turned on, and these photos of a polar bear chewing on the subs rear rudder resulted. The damage was said to be minor. The SSN 22 is a Seawolf class boat, one of the navy's newest submarines. It wasn't designed as a polar bear snack, but that's how life is sometimes.

At an intelegence briefing this morning we learned Al Quada may use different animals to commit suicide missions against our armed forces. Please stay tuned as more information will soon be avalible."

Yes nullterm I was thinking the same thing, that is why I never looked before. I have seen lots of those type bear attacks.

I had to right click the images , and do a view image.
But I have just uploaded them, and will host them for a week maybe.

You are not stupid, not in the way people say it. We are all ignorant. Don’t ever ask me about rap music!

Anyway having lived around Sailors, raised by one, and having a few ride alongs in those things I have learned a few things.

Your not looking at the Sail, or Control tower (whatever) as you think you are. The Sub could not take a picture of it because the camera is in the sail. That is the upper part of the top fin (rear of the canoe). It is very big, and so is the bear, but unlike the bear most of the fin is under the ice.

It took me a bit to understand what I was looking at.

And I could give you a list of people on this forum that are unwilling to learn, and your not one that comes to mind, so please stop saying that

Here it easier to see what the Polar bear having a go at.

[Pulsar]

Did that bear really took a bite or it was just sniffing around like bears always do...

[HardThunder]

Oh it looks like he/she/it was upset. But not much you can do to HY90, or HY 100. Those things are very tuff. They cut them up here.

[Rakki]

The real kicker is that.... the bear inflicted US$100,000 worth of damage..... go the defense industry!

[RecceGuy]

I'd heard the bear was waiting for his delivery from Sub-way and thought this was it rofl (i know very poor)

[dunkin]

I guess the bear was a little low on iron, not any more.

If ye ever have to eat a polar bear... stay away from the liver!!!
