data for: French Navy “Triumph” was recently the British and French strategic nuclear submarines

bilateral strategic nuclear submarines in the Atlantic deep-sea collision occurred, not only that the two navies is very embarrassing, even more curious about the world: in such a vast ocean bottom, how could occur two strategic nuclear submarines “accident”? Some experts pointed out that the two nuclear submarines in the deep-sea collision occurred is one in a million chance, like in the “big lottery.” But behind this accident was full of the inevitable.

France, Britain, and do not inform the submarine location

British and French strategic submarine midnight on February 3 after the collision, the two navies had tried this incident cover. But Jiabu Zhu media hot pursuit, the two Defense Department had confirmed that the incident. French Defense Ministry confirmed 16 when the accident occurred two nuclear submarines are carrying nuclear weapons. French Navy spokesman said the collision caused no casualties, nor cause any damage to nuclear safety.

two submarines from the collision point of view, the British Royal Navy is the “progressive” class strategic nuclear submarine of the “avant-garde” was the French Navy is the “Triumph” class strategic nuclear submarine of the “Triumph” was . Two uses of nuclear power, are equipped with more than a dozen nuclear missiles, the two nuclear powers Britain and France remain the backbone of strategic nuclear deterrence. In accordance with the UK’s nuclear deterrence policy, its strategic nuclear submarines with the four must have a strategy to keep alert, which is the strategic deterrent patrol state of readiness to launch a nuclear strike on the target. France also implement the same policy. From the British First Sea Lord, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Jonathan Ban Tak statement point of view, when two boats collided in the implementation of their patrol. This means that the specific location of the collision area can not be made public, otherwise their strategic nuclear submarines cruising the waters of other countries will be found, it will seriously damage China’s strategic nuclear deterrent capability.

the other hand, this incident also shows that although the British and French allies, but has not reached the “intimate” with it, the other two did not communicate its strategic nuclear submarines to patrol the situation. However, because there is between the Anglo-American “special relationship”, and the United Kingdom’s strategic nuclear missiles are the United States provided the two countries there is a similar to “traffic control” or similar agreement. To prevent collisions between the two countries strategic nuclear submarines, both for their own submarines cruise into the channel do not conflict each other, and often inform each other’s strategic nuclear submarines cruising location information. It is said that within NATO but also the existence of such a management mechanism, a former British submarine commander, said Ferguson introduced in the NATO military command system, the United States, Britain, Norway, the Netherlands and Canada have designated a submarine cruising the waters, ” If you want to enter other countries, regions, must be notified in advance, if not part of NATO’s military command system, you do not need to do so. “France back in the 1960s had been pulled out of NATO military command, France is not so to inform its strategic nuclear submarines of NATO cruise position. French Navy spokeswoman admitted that France will not provide information to other countries where its strategic nuclear submarine of any information.

stealth capabilities may be to blame

collision of two strategic nuclear submarines are the world’s advanced nuclear strike weapons, stealth capabilities with a powerful . Some analysts believe that it is this hidden feature may lead to collision.

power of the Royal United Institute defense expert Liweilite that the stealth capabilities of strategic nuclear submarines of the vitality and combat effectiveness. Only with a powerful stealth capabilities, strategic nuclear submarines of other countries can not be a nuclear attack submarines and surface anti-submarine equipment that can have the ability to surprise, to play the “second nuclear strike” effect. Typically, the strategic nuclear submarine detection equipment, primarily for active and passive sonar detection sonar system detection system. The former refers to the active submarine detection equipment to detect emission of waves to detect waves hit an object and then reflected back in, submarine detection devices used to detect the reflected waves to determine the existence of threats around. However, these probe waves may also be detected in other countries receiving equipment, which is like the release of fireworks in the night, in the light themselves, but also exposed their position. This detection method only in exceptional circumstances can be used. Strategic nuclear submarines in times of peace implementation of the strategic deterrent patrol, the general use of passive sonar detection system, a detection of other submarines and receive internal sound waves emitted by the machine running to collect the waters surrounding the case. However, the collision of the top two submarines are advanced stealth submarine, probably neither received any other submarine acoustic signals emitted, can not determine its location, do not even know each other’s existence, which occurred in the collision.

nuclear submarines cruising the waters overlap between the two countries also contributed to the collision event indirect factors. Strategic nuclear submarines in the cruise when they tend to choose a number of easily concealed, relatively quiet area on patrol. Two nuclear submarine may have found the same ideal area, but does not inform each other beforehand, resulting in “accidents.”

former U.S. Central Intelligence Agency officials Aires is that the two submarine collision, because they are playing “cat and mouse” game, which is the United States and the former Soviet Union used to play “game.” When a country’s strategic nuclear submarines cruising in the submarine found his country will “quietly” to follow in order to practice “kill” the ability to strategic nuclear submarines. United States and the former Soviet Union, there had been a dozen strategic nuclear submarine collision, but not made public. The British and French submarines collision is possible: a submarine found another submarine, stalking, leading to collision.

news analysis/ANALYSIS

nuclear submarine collided with a number of terrible

Britain and France, according to media reports, the French submarine “sonar shield” was damaged, the body is covered with the British submarine scratches, but overall, the two submarines, and no serious damage, especially in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons system is not damaged. However, defense expert John Rudge believe that this is 2000, the Russian “Kursk” submarine sinking accident happened, the world has the most serious submarine accident, the consequences could be disastrous.

Laatsch that if two submarines collision location is on the side of the ship, hull rupture, a lot of water, could lead to the sinking of two submarines. Not even two submarines sunk, but if a more serious impact force, causing the cabin fire, the consequences can not imagine. Although the possibility of nuclear explosion is almost zero, but the two strategic nuclear submarine of the nuclear power plant damage may occur, once the flow of radioactive substances, will cause serious nuclear contamination.

the British and French nuclear submarines collided in the political arena between the two countries led to a strong shock, demanding a thorough investigation of the voice continued. However, due to the incident involving the secret of the deep, do not expect the two governments announced the true findings. (Zhang Zhuo)
