A Portuguese submarine taking part in exercises off the British coast became caught up in the nets of a French trawler on Tuesday, maritime authorities said.

The submarine, "Tridente", was taking part in a training exercise with Britain's Royal Navy 55 kilometres (34 miles) off Lizard Point, southwest England.

It was below the surface when it became entangled in the nets of "Daytona", a trawler registered in the northwestern French port of Saint-Brieuc, which was fishing in the area.

"The submarine immediately surfaced and made contact with the trawler," French maritime authorities said in a statement.

They said the incident did not cause any injuries and no damage was caused to either the submarine or the trawler.

Revenge for the Euro final, pure and simple!

The Daytona is from Brittany and I have it on good, if fake, authority that ...
its captain is a descendant of Surcouf.

hahahahaha
its a normal accident the problemis that theres no restrictions at sea when subs are training as they are out of the way but they shouls keep a ship on the look for trawlers.

Frenchies still not recovered from their Euro Shock

OK OK!!
It was comming from the Baltic Sea and made a stop to exercise with the Royal Navy, during that it stuck the cable of a fishing net from a French Trowler. Then it came up and a RN ship ordered the Trawler to cut the net!
It would be much easier to SUNK THE TROWLER!
Just Kidding!!! Here in Portuguese Forum Defesa we just called it the ultimate ASW weapon (French Trawler)
There was a RN ship on the look for trawlers, but dont forget that unless we keep talking to him, the Ship dont now were is the Sub, during last year a Portuguese Sub went to a Nato exercise and the only way to discover him was a Portuguese Air Force P-3C CUP+.
Thanks

It was NRP Tridente

Their hangover was from the previous night of playing "with the Russians"
