Mike, Thanks for the explanation

Big place is the Pacific Ocean, bigger that all the earths land mass.
Our troop ship spent 31 days going from Seattle to Guam , took a zig-zag route. Only 18 days coming back . Saw nothing but fish , no land, for 18 days at full speed.

What a demonstration of a subs integrity that crash was.
Crews can sleep more easily now - keep it under 30 knots and worry more about the systems than the hull.
Just don't get overconfident and go bouncing off every unmarked underwater object , especially the sharp ones.
