At random: USS SKATE and USS SEADRAGON, after affecting a historic rendezvous under the ice, surfaced together at the North Pole through an opening in the ice on August 1962. What really happened: We didn't surface together, Skate surfaced first. Then we (Seadragon) fired yellow flares forward and aft so Skate could tell us how we were lined up. Remember, under-ice was primitive in these days. Skate called back down rapidly that one flare surfaced on her starboard side and the other to port. She requested we reposition before vertical surfacing. We did. - Coyote (Owen Carlson)

Atlantic 03/27/73: The USS Hammerhead (SSN-663), operating east of the Virginia Capes area at about 300 feet, strikes a submerged object of unknown nature thought to be nonmetallic, perhaps a whale. The impact was heavy enough to be heard and felt throughout the ship. There was no discernable damage.
