One note - whatever you may think of certain of the policies of the nations involved, both these vessels are crewed by men who have chosen to serve in their nations military, putting themselves in harms way for something they believe in.
A funny joke is a funny joke and if you think of one, I know it’s hard not to share it - and personally I’ve made plenty of ‘insensitive’ jokes myself because they were too funny not to share. But please, even if you make the jokes, remember these are men who’ve put their lives on the line for a reason. Joke about them, sure. But respect them too.
Always.

If you want to see who DISRESPECTS the Military, you need go no farther than those in Congress who wrote the Obama Stimulus Bill. A Trillion Dollars spent and pennies for our Military Men and Women and no funds for the Weapons they use to protect us.
SHAMEFUL...
During World War Two, three German U-boats (U-254 and U-718) were lost in collisions with other U-boats.
During the Cold War, there were a number of collisions between NATO and Warsaw Pact subs. For example: USS Augusta, an American Los Angeles-class SSN, struck and damaged K-279, a Soviet Delta I-class SSBN and USS Grayling, an American Sturgeon-class SSN, struck and damaged K-407, a Soviet Delta III-class SSBN.
In March, 1998, the USS San Juan, an American Los Angeles-class SSN, collided with the USS Kentucky, an American Ohio-class SSBN, causing minor damage to the Kentucky and moderate damage to the San Juan.
