British Atomic Powered Submarine 'Astute' Runs Aground (Oct. 2010)

Reading of a British nuclear powered submarine running aground in shallow water of Scotland-possibly while sending a crewman on a beer run, I empathized having run my 26 foot sailboat into shallow water of Chesapeake Bay across from the naval academy where it became stuck in the mud of shallow water. Overnight waves pushed the boat onto a rocky berm sinking it.

The Captain of the H.M.S. Astute was relieved from command. However his boat was towed away sucessfully it seems. When my recently purchased old sailboat was lost, after properly disposing of it I returned to Montana and Alaska for hernia surgery with the hope of repainting homes on the Atlantic coast with a woman from the islands as relief crew sunk into history.

There is video of the Astute at the msnbc story about an enlisted man who shot and killed an officer at close range aboard a differnet British nuclear powered submarine recently.
