BREAKING: U.S. Navy Says Sailors Injured After Submarine ‘Struck An Object’ Underwater In The Indo-Pacific Region

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii – The Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine USS Connecticut (SSN 22) ‘struck an object while submerged on the afternoon of Oct. 2, while operating in international waters in the Indo-Pacific region,’ officials revealed Thursday.

They say multiple sailors were injured — but there are no life threatening injuries.

“The safety of the crew remains the Navy’s top priority,” U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet said in a statement. “The submarine remains in a safe and stable condition. USS Connecticut’s nuclear propulsion plant and spaces were not affected and remain fully operational. The extent of damage to the remainder of the submarine is being assessed. The U.S. Navy has not requested assistance. The incident will be investigated.”

There was no indication about what type of object struck the submarine. According to the NavyTimes, ‘an official who requested anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak on the record said that the area’s topography at the time did not indicate there was a land mass in front of the boat.’
