this ocean ain't big enough

Two nuclear submarines collide in the Atlantic.
The British sub is 150 meters long and weighs 16000 tonnes.
The French sub is 138 meters long and weighs 14000 tonnes.
They can each carry 16 nuclear missiles.
The punchline? We're not all dead.
yay!!!!!
Luckily there were not 32 nuclear missiles zooming stealthily through the ocean towards each other when these two massive warships hit each other at "low speed."
I'm sure i'm not alone in preferring that floating nuclear-powered nuclear silos stay far away from one another.
some interesting comments were made about this incident, including that the submarines "should not have been in the same place at the same time." Ignoring the quantum physics discussion that could explode around the stupidity of this statement, I am fairly certain that this exact situation is why sonar was created, aside from good ol-fashioned planning. It sounds like the submarine crews were trying so hard to be invisible that they both succeeded, and this amazing quote was born from Angus Robertson:

"The Ministry of Defence needs to explain how it is possible for a submarine carrying weapons of mass destruction to collide with another submarine carrying weapons of mass destruction in the middle of the world's second-largest ocean."

With all these whales and dolphins getting confused by loud seas and beaching themselves all around the globe, it's about time our navigation emulation bit us in the ass. As disturbing as this crash may seem, I am glad i heard about it. If these two submarines had been carrying their intended cargo, the article would not exist because thousands of kilotonnes would have erupted in the Atlantic Ocean, spreading massive firestorms and nuclear fallout across the entire planet. Cue the playground scene from Terminator 2.
The two governments did not officially admit to the crash for a few weeks, so I'm sure they would tell us if the crash had been a lot worse. Right?
