NY Times coverage:


The 1997 HBO movie "Hostile Waters" (based on the book of the same name) dramatized this accident, showing a US submarine colliding with the K-219 to trigger the leak...a claim the Soviet Union made in 1986 that was disputed by the US Navy and Capt. Britanov.



In 2001, Britanov sued Warner Brothers Studios, arguing they had not asked his permission to portray him in the movie and that the story was inaccurate and made him appear incompetent. Three years later, a court awarded Britanov a settlement of less than $100,000.




It seems the universe is not without a sense of irony. Stories in British media of a fatal accident aboard a Chinese submarine are spreading, again. Here's a non-msm post:

Possible Fatal Accident Aboard Chinese Navy Nuclear Submarine

Flag China Since August 22 there have been persistent rumors that a Chinese Navy (PLAN) nuclear submarine experienced a serious accident. They were first widely circulated on certain Chinese language social media. It has since been reported in Taiwanese media and there has been much wild speculation. However the rumor hasn't gone away, notably in Chinese sources.

Unfortunately I played an unintended role in this. The noise reached a level on August 22 that I tweeted about it in the hope of bringing more information to the surface. My tweet contained clear caveats. Despite this it was picked up by Taiwanese and other non-English language press and misrepresented to 'prove' that the incident occurred. It became a news story for a few days.

These rumors are still unconfirmed and should not be treated as fact. However, in case other information subsequently comes to light, it is worth recording them for reference. Where there is smoke, sometimes there is fire.

Treat with Caution: Unverified Rumors

Early Version Of Story, August 22

The initial telling of the story, reported by 'Lude Media', stated:

"Briefing: At 8:12 a.m. on August 21, 417 was carrying out the submerged survey operation assessment task under loading. The mechanical failure was caught by the anchor chain, which caused the cabin to depressurize and float slowly. It coincided with the thunderstorm in Lianyungang, and the rescue was trapped. After 6 hours of uninterrupted rescue, it surfaced at 14:04 on August 21, and the oxygen in the ship was exhausted, resulting in the sacrifice of 22 officers, 7 students, 9 non-commissioned officers and 17 soldiers who participated in the test mission. The details are still under investigation, and the next report will be at 10:15 on August 22.

This is a report to Xi Jinping and the Central Military Commission."

There are several aspects which raise questions in this account. Two obvious question marks are 1) Nuclear subs don’t normally run out of air for months, they can make it 2) Nuclear boats have a lot of power, anchor chain shouldn’t be fatal. The small crew is also worth noting as unusual, but not out of the question.

However, combined with other sources for these rumors, it was at least an indication that something took place. Media stories in Taiwan generally repeated this version.
