"Opps, the ground is closer than it appears"
'World's most advanced' nuke sub towed free
LONDON — A British nuclear-powered submarine described as the "world's most advanced" that ran aground off the coast of Scotland has been towed free, the Royal Navy said. The HMS Astute — the Royal Navy's newest and largest attack submarine — was floated free at high tide Friday with the help of three support vesels. The sub ran into trouble Friday morning in shallow waters near a road bridge linking the Isle of Skye to the mainland when the vesel's rudder apparently became stuck on a shingle bank, according to British media reports. In a statement, the defense ministry said the accident was not a nuclear incident and that no injuries had been reported. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39793497...ope/?GT1=43001
