Hunt for Red October!!!!!!! rock:

Latest news from Royal Navy Website

[quote:a69c5]The Royal Navy frigate HMS Montrose rendezvoused with the Canadian submarine HMCS Chicoutimi in the Atlantic on 6 October, following a fire aboard the submarine on the afternoon of 5 October. A Royal Air Force Nimrod aircraft had provided search and rescue cover for the submarine overnight, and two more Royal Navy vessels are en route to assist.

Chicoutimi, the former Royal Navy submarine HMS Upholder, was on passage from Faslane to Canada when the fire broke out. The Nimrod was scrambled as a precaution, and Montrose was dispatched to the scene. Her sister ship HMS Marlborough and the support vessel RFA Wave Knight have also been tasked to assist, along with two salvage tugs. Three RAF and Royal Navy Sea King and Merlin helicopters deployed to Northern Ireland as a precaution, and three injured crew were evacuated on the evening of 6 October to hospital in the Irish Republic. Sadly, the Canadian Government confirmed that one subsequently died of his injuries.



Chicoutimi is approximately 60 miles off the northwest coast of Ireland, and the weather remains very difficult, but is expected to improve.

There were two fires on board the Canadian diesel powered submarine HMCS Chicoutimi on 5 October. The fires were in the electrical circuits and have caused extensive damage. HMCS Chicoutimi has lost power and propulsion and efforts are currently underway to restore steering. The submarine was on the surface at the time of the fires. HMS Montrose arrived at the scene at 1300 6 October. A medical team was transferred by boat to the submarine HMS Marlborough and RFA Wave Knight have also now arrived at the scene. Two Search and Rescue Sea King helicopters and a Merlin helicopter are deployed to Northern Ireland on standby to provide assistance if required. RFA Argus is also on route to provide assistance. Argus has the ability to support helicopters for an extended period close to the scene. A specialist tug, the MV Anglian Prince is also en route to provide assistance and a specialist vessel the MV Carolyn Chouest, a US submarine support vessel is en route from Faslane expected to arrive later today.

Following the evacuation by Royal Navy Sea King of three casualties suffering from smoke inhalation last night the Canadian government announced the death of Lt Chris Saunders, as a result of his injuries sustained in fighting the fire on board. Two other casualties are receiving medical treatment in hospital in Northern Ireland.

The Royal Navy’s objective is to support the Canadian submarine and help provide logistics, medical, aviation and moral support to the crew. Efforts are also being made to restore electrical supply to the submarine. The crew has plenty of food and water on the submarine and the ambient temperature remains good. Specialist technical support is being provided on HMS Montrose.

Weather conditions remain difficult with strong winds and wave heights of some 5 metres. It is hoped the weather will moderate by the morning of Friday 8 October to provide an opportunity to take the submarine undertow to safe waters if her propulsion cannot be restored.[/quote:a69c5]
