Nuclear Submarine Runs Aground
From Times Wire Services
A British nuclear submarine ran aground off Scotland’s Isle of Skye, suffering considerable damage to its sonar and a ballast tank, a navy spokeswoman said.
The Trafalgar, which will need several months of repairs, limped into the Clyde naval base Thursday, one day after hitting rocks during a two-week training exercise with other British and NATO vessels. The submarine was not carrying nuclear weapons and its reactor suffered no damage.
