Thanks to David for the links.
I can't get too excited about this because I don't view it as a military action but as a rescue operation...The type of operation that all nations should participate in, if allowed by the nation whose sub went down that is. We send subs to all parts of the globe to conduct missions against friends and allies alike. So do our friends, allies and enemies. When a sub is in distress its time to put away the diplomatic insanity and simply rescue the crew, scuttle the boat and be done with it.
Their sub today but eventually its going to be one of ours.
Read about the drama here and here.
