But fortunately a false alarm. From the Navy Newsstand:
SUBLANT Statement Regarding USS San Juan and Missing Submarine Procedures
quote:Story Number: NNS070314-01
Release Date: 3/14/2007 10:22:00 AM
From Commander, Submarine Force U.S. Atlantic Fleet Public Affairs
NORFOLK (NNS) -- During the early evening of March 13, units of the USS Enterprise Carrier Strike Group (CSG) received a series of indications that USS San Juan (SSN 751), a Los Angeles class submarine conducting pre-deployment training with the Enterprise CSG, was in distress.
Fortunately, the submarine established communications in the early morning hours of March 14, and indicated that there were no problems; hence, units were able to stand down from the search and rescue that was already well underway.
