    Damn! The hull is buckled in the fwd compartment!

    I recall reading about it not long after it occurred...I think what's
    amazing, the sub was traveling 25-30 knots!! I thought at that speed,...damage
    didn't look as bad as I would expect!!
    I thought,...DAM these things are built well!!...That was a head on shot!!!
