Section G.5: Can someone list accidents involving nuclear submarines?
This question is often asked, but nobody can give a complete answer. The details of nuclear submarine accidents are generally highly classified. Anybody who knows the details of an accident isn’t (or shouldn’t be) talking. In many cases the details of an accident may not be known at all, as it’s hard to know what caused the loss of a submarine that simply vanished. Most information about submarine accidents is taken from newspaper and magazine articles, friend-of-a-friend stories, and the like. These sources are generally subject to errors and omissions, so the whole story may not be available, or accurate.
