Bureau fishermen plying the Irish sea have it bad enough Nhat with High winds rough currents and an often shallow Bottom littered with rocks and world War i shipwrecks. But then there Are those Pesky nuclear submarines. Out of the Firth of Clyde Inlet through the North Channel and into the already inhospitable sea come sub marines from the Royal Navy s Aslane base and the is. Navy s submarine refit site one at holy Loch adding packs of periscopes to an already congested area. Occasionally the fishermen meet up with those Lack underwater giants. One of the worst recorded instances of such a meeting came in february 1987, when the fishing boat summer morn unexpectedly netted a catch of several thousand tons of submarine. The . Navy paid the summer morn s skipper some $28,000 for damage to his Craft and other losses. Later that year a fishing boat called the heroine bagged another sub collecting $19,500 in damages. A collision Between a fishing boat and a is. Sub in january and another net incident on april 17 Are under investigation. The British defense ministry has paid $910,000 in damages or compensation to fishing vessels that have met with the Royal Navy s subs in and around . Waters during the past 10 years. Many of those encounters occurred in the Irish sea a singularly unpleasant piece of water according to Richard Sharpe the editor of Jane s fighting ships and a former submarine commander. Submerged wrecks and rocks and the shallows in the area can make life difficult for a submarine helmsman relying on sonar to feel his Way along Sharpe said. And even with the most precise sonar equipment steering a submarine is Akin to trying to Cross the Road with your eyes shut he added. Some members of the British parliament however remain unimpressed with the subs difficulties. It is astonishing that submarines can deliver mis Siles on target thousands of Miles away but seem unable to detect trawlers trundling along just above them scottish parliament member George Foulkes said in a statement issued by his London office. Fishermen face enough natural hazards without the added danger of submarines suddenly surfacing below  Foulkes has led a Campaign on the dangers of submarines to fishing vessels since january when a scottish television station aired a controversial program containing what the defense ministry is calling misleading allegations about the safety of the submarines. Foulkes and another dozen members of parliament plan to visit the holy Loch and Aslane bases at Date not yet announced to talk to Navy officials about nuclear reactors aboard the subs and the collision problem according to a ministry spokeswoman. They arc going up there mainly to talk about sub Marine nuclear reactor safety and to have a general look around the spokeswoman said. This business of submarines and fishing vessel collisions will obviously come  his statement Foulkes said he plans to Chal Lenge the base commanders to find ways to prevent or at least minimize these  the commanders Likely would be Happy to Cooper ate. In addition to damage claims and embarrassment the incidents detract from the usually Clandestine nature of underwater operations. The sea services have readily admitted when submarines have been involved in a collision or other incident it. Dave Smith a spokesman for the is. Navy s submarine so 14 at holy Loch said. It does t happen that often he said. When we were basically at fault we be Rogerod up and  still notes Petty officer Bob Jenkins of the Navy in Europe s London Headquarters a submarine catching a fishing net is like tying a matchstick to the Back of a car and pulling it Down the Road. A lot of times they actually Don t know it is happening he said. On the other Side of the argument Jane s editor Sharpe thinks some fishermen May find it Loo easy to blame damaged nets on submarines. If you Are a Fisherman in those Waters and your trawler gets caught you can quickly convince yourself that it was a submarine he said
