UK nuclear submarine damaged in collision

A British nuclear-powered submarine has been damaged after it collided with rocks beneath the surface of the Red Sea, but no crewmembers were injured in the incident. No crewmembers were hurt and the submarine remains watertight. There were 112 crewmembers on board, a British Defence Ministry spokesman said. The spokesman said that the submarine's nuclear reactor was "completely unaffected", but a full investigation was under way to determine the cause of the collision.
