In addition, San Juan family members were notified of the situation at hand.
I'm sure that wasn't fun. Glad everybody's OK.

Sounds like a drill, but one of those where only the sub commander was told to initiate it in order to test the crew, fleet and others.

Even if it wasn't planed, seems everything worked as it should.
This may have been a fortunate accidental exercise that will provide information about how well the system worked.

The San Juan was the last boat I served on and transfered off in 2000. The boat has had a storied past in that it had collided with a SSBN, was the first 688 to surface under the ice in the Artic. But one things for sure, it's never a good thing to make the national news.

Put me on your sub ping list! Thank goodness for the submarine escape and rescue program!

I was just pinging Freeper lilycicero. Is there a submariner ping list? I'm sure lilycicero would like to be on it, if so.

Could it have been a drill similar to a game-conditions scrimmage? Top brass would know the drill status; no one else would.
"This is a drill..." relaxes the participants too much to adequately evaluate their performance in a real emergency.

I'm surprised SubLant wasn't able to get them to respond to an ELF alert message.
I suspect USS San Juan was detached from the exercise, went deep and made "turns-for-go-home", wanting to be back in Groton before the weekend.
