The horrible accident Russian submarine Nerpa

I will not keep for me the consternation felt November 9, 2008:
("up." the May 12, 2009) The announcement of this new serious accident at a Russian submarine during its first test at sea can not remain indifferent former Marine I am. "Even more distressing was the media treatment of it. It seems to me that the accidental death of 20 sailors and technical professionals including military service of their country, moreover, was considered less interesting than the start of the race around the world sailing ...

Russia will deliver the ANS Nerpa to India in late 2009 (the May 11 )

A submarine "SNA" Russian type "Akula", perhaps is Does the Nerpa itself.

However, we also recognize that the lack of transparency natural navies, especially in matters of nuclear submarines, does not always help journalists to be interested, especially if n'ont pas eu eux-mêmes l'occasion durant une précédente vie de se frotter à ces "bêtes" là... Tout le monde ne va pas fréquenter les sous-marins dans sa vie, que ceci soit ou non souhaitable.
Les Russes n'ont pas de chance avec leurs sous-marins, mais je soupçonne fort la marine ex-Soviétique de mettre en oeuvre sa remise en état de grande puissance, à "marche forcée" avec des moyens plus ou moins suffisants. Vladimir Poutine et son jeune compère Medvedef veulent peut-être "en faire trop", trop vite aussi semble-t-il.

Catch up with lost since the end of the Soviet Union has lived on site as a necessity by many makers. This can be easily guessed by reading the trade press or military sites "pro", though of course concerned deny it, naturally. On the other hand in all areas of human activity, when put under pressure guys with means "too short" , " sucks" ... Especially at sea!

It should never be forgotten by anyone wishing to understand at least some kind of event that any new ship whether civilian or military, can easily become the subject of a stupid accident during his " Newbuilding ", that statistic! For a nuclear submarine, it is naturally more delicate. We knew something there ... Three admirals Russians know very well we tell.
It is also well known to sailors as a sprinkler system for fire can be very dangerous in case of misuse, improper installation or both simultaneously. This is also the case with many safety equipment on board ships. Lifeboats and a few other safety equipment on board are also simply for the same reasons. This is a strange rule that I have always known or recognized by browsing. Even what is supposed to protect can become dangerous, being evil "leads" or poorly designed.

It has no tradition with submarines, must all learn
since it built its two "Scorpene".

In other words, anyone who has never been a submariner can doubt with a little more common sense (this is first, the famous "seamanship") that aboard a submarine during his first nine outings tested at sea, there are naturally a cumulation of risk much higher than that of a freighter, not least by the presence on board a more personal, not always "manned".
So I said Sunday night that if a pickle triggered accidentally freon (I was not sure) in several compartments of the diving board, because I understand that's what happened, he returned "safely" on base , it can (or will) be his birthday. Hard-drive ...
By cons if a computer crash or mishandling of this kind is indeed the cause of the accident, he will not (all) easy understand what happened , especially if the blundering died in the accident. It's really a nasty blow to most Russians. Browse in pipes gray popof "should not be everyday fun. I'm willing to bet even without yet being able to be informed directly by the parties, it must be much harder since the collapse of the USSR, given the difficult "environment accounting" Russian we all heard talk ...

I lived 5 times in my life as a sailor and start a fire on board, it has always "put the chips . Like all tell you, nobody does the clever at the moment! However, at least on a French submarine, the most meticulous precautions (to the extent of absurdity, is to say) are multiplied because it is faster a nightmare when it comes to diving. If in addition, sometimes a security system becomes "a traitor" ...
Even very modern, a submarine is much more than a surface ship, a closed and narrow. Any local board even more "innocent" can turn into a terrible trap in case of fire, just to name a few.
Secondly, as for air disasters if we find "the gherkin service that has made bullshit", it arranges always " everyone! Indeed, manufacturers of defective equipment, whenever it happened, although we never support call into question the design or the installation of their equipment ... So even if this does not prevent them from elsewhere, modify the equipment concerned and especially later in "Stealth"! This is also a specialty of Airbus, well known from the small world of aviation.
When necessary (also) be sure that the client must purchase or rent does not change his mind ... In fact, "he said" in the small community, the NERP will be leased to the Navy Indian, although the Russian side has been denied while the Indians confirmed. Who to believe? Wonders the Portal submarines. You may have guessed, all this is embarrassing for the Russians.
This is all very strange, and transparency displayed recently by the Russian navy would it a mistake eye? It is certain that we have not finished hearing about it and the officer who dares to defend the famous sailor is a very brave guy. But he may be better not to show too ...
It is clear that the descriptions of this detection system and fire-fighting here and there available on websites specialized "navies", we suggest that the computer incident following a programming error and / or manipulation is likely. That "by far" may know? And is there on board including the mishandling exactly who was behind the tragedy?
" In camera a submarine, a malfunction can turn to tragedy in the blink of an eye. The survival of the crew then take to the relevance of reactions in the first few seconds. "
C itation Gilles Corlobé, web-master of" Portal submarines ")
I'm not sure that a sailor has access (subject to know what his exact duties and specialties ) to this computer ... This is only my opinion. Who will know why (and that, "we"?) "on" it "fell over", why him? Maybe even on board the Nerpa There was something for question.
On board a civilian ship business, it works a bit like the factory, we do what we can do without hesitation and when all goes well is often hard, but simple to live. That said be ready for anything and constantly alert is the second nature of the "Marine way." There was very little room for error.
- "Always be vigilant! Board and especially at sea, anything can happen ..."
So said the commander of 4 masts and cargo-school students in Padua to welcoming them on board in 1930. To cite "that" this, it is imperative and indispensable regularly to ensure that everyone on board knows without hesitation to use safety equipment, using exercises "rituals" and scheduled a "scenario" different each week, fighting against the fire, making water craft, flooding etc. ...

was indeed more than quickly find themselves "overwhelmed" by an unexpected situation. If we then waste time "searching the record" so that the smoke is everywhere, there are 4 meters of water in the engine compartment, 8 meter hollow "out" and the ship rolls from side to side ... "It is wrong !
board a submarine especially if it is out of the yard the previous week, it is absolutely certain that it may well happen that you do once ... If we organize the training of crew of submariners to the perfect understanding des procédures techniques et s'assurer de la transformation de chaque geste du bord en un réflexe sûr et inoubliable, il y a une raison simple.

Cet accident stupide et horrible entre tous nous prouve aussi, que les Russes ont su rejoindre l'Occident, au moins dans tous ses excès informatiques. Mais Dmitri Grobov poor is not out of the woods ... For Nerpa, more than the twists is the transparency of Russian media has surprised
- What evolution compared to the case of the Kursk and SA-31!

It was a surprise, but when you make an effort of imagination this is explained. A few weeks after the tragedy of the Kursk, when strong emotion was over I guess that Putin and leaders of the few admirals submarine fleet watched the TV footage that was broadcast worldwide. They then certainly all said
- " Never again! "

Indeed I am sure he could not do worse and they had probably all agree. Hence suggesting that the new "rule of conduct was so determined to make sure to wash the dirty linen in public in case of recurrence , there is not that I crossed . This may encourage vigilance and deter "errors". Now they are more transparent than the French. In fact, "everyone" has its accidents.
The press is "well guarded" in Russia. If they "unpack" is that they have had at least one green light.
Second of a strictly technical standpoint, a Law must for all technologies is that a poorly controlled automation is still very dangerous , especially at sea Then, aboard a submarine dive and during sea trials ..

Former Etienne Denis was built at St Nazaire in 1984. He often changed name, especially since the end of Cie de Navigation Denis Frères. Its sea trials fascinated me at the time. There were certainly a few wrong notes and various incidents, but no drama. Yet, we began to get used not to "take our time" to work and blunders were not uncommon.
