This post has been updated with a statement from U.S. 7th Fleet.
Investigators have determined USS Connecticut (SSN-22) hit an uncharted seamount that grounded the nuclear attack submarine on the underwater feature in the South China Sea Navy, USNI News has learned.
The results of the command investigation into the Oct. 2 incident, completed last week, have now been passed up to U.S. 7th Fleet commander Vice Adm. Karl Thomas for review and to determine if there will be any additional accountability actions over the incident, a legislative source and two defense officials that are familiar with the findings told USNI News on Monday.
“The investigation determined USS Connecticut grounded on an uncharted seamount while operating in international waters in the Indo-Pacific region,” 7th Fleet spokesperson Cmdr. Hayley Sims told USNI News in a Monday afternoon statement following an earlier version of this post. “Commander, U.S. 7th Fleet will determine whether follow-on actions, including accountability, are appropriate.”
The damage to the forward section of the submarine damaged its ballast tanks and prompted Connecticut to make a week-long voyage on the surface from the South China Sea to Guam, USNI News understands. The Navy has said repeatedly that the submarine’s nuclear reactor and propulsion system are undamaged.
The boat is in currently in Guam undergoing initial repairs overseen by Naval Sea Systems Command, personnel from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and submarine tender USS Emory S. Land (AS-39).
The Navy will first determine how the submarine can be fixed enough to safely leave Guam for follow-on repairs.
Determining where and when the final repairs would occur will further stress the service’s maintenance capability.
“If we ended up doing [the Connecticut work] in one of the public shipyards, that would certainly cause perturbations in all the other work in the shipyards,” Jay Stefany, acting assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition, told the House Armed Services Committee readiness subcommittee on Thursday.
The damage and subsequent repairs to the attack submarine have caused renewed attention on the Navy’s attack submarine maintenance backlog.
In the same hearing, House Armed Services seapower and projection forces subcommittee chair Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.) pointed out the lack of dry dock facilities for submarine repairs west of Hawaii.
“Right now, it’s in Guam, that’s public record, there is no dry dock in Guam, hopefully, a sub tender can do the work, but that remains to be seen,” he said. “It just shows how … the world gets a vote and things change and unexpected incidents create more demand for repairs. … The attack subs have always been the poor cousin in the public shipyards in terms of getting priority, but we know particularly a Seawolf-class submarine is extremely valuable in terms of the mission in that part of the world.”
Connecticut is one of three Sea Wolf-class attack nuclear boats that were developed for deep-water operations to take on Soviet submarines in the open ocean. Since the end of the Cold War, the trio has been upgraded and modified to carry out some of the Navy’s most sensitive missions.

跟個人之前猜測一樣是海底撞山了
目前在關島進行初步維修,關島沒有乾船塢之後應該會回美國本土進一步檢查

潜艇不是有什么声呐各种探测的吗？
怎么会撞到海底固定不动的山岳，
有没有懂的科普一下下~

海底地形並不是不動的，經常會有火山爆發然後莫名其妙冒出來一些嶋礁然後過段時間又飄走了。潛艇航行時候都是用之前測好的海底地形。

不开主动声呐，只开被动声呐
支人：一定是被我軍艦隊打爆不敢說才裝成撞山

潜艇在海底潜行时，是按照预先设定的航线，自动规避已知的海底障碍，同时依赖被动声纳系统探测周围地形（与主动声纳系统相比，效果当然大打折扣）。此次事故，有可能会导致潜艇艇长被追责。
关闭无线电和主动声纳系统保持静默航行，让目标国无法探知到，这就是核动力潜艇的威慑力。
确定不是被自杀式常规潜艇搞了一下？
