Navy submarine avoids tragedy, whale rape off Virginia coast
NORFOLK, VA - Having an unknown contact appear off the stern can be a frightening scenario for many submariners, but it's even worse when that sonar blip is searching for a mate.
The close shadowing of numerous submarines by whales was recently revealed by Admiral William Wysocki, Director of Submarine Services for the Atlantic Fleet.
"We never like to see a contact following us, and for quite a few subs out there, it's been a frightening ordeal," said Wysocki.
One sub that dealt with a strange tail was the USS Baltimore (SSN-704).
