30 December 2004: Three submarines of the Indian, US and Chinese navies were damaged by the earthquake off Sumatra that triggered of killer tsunamis in Asia, and while two submarines have returned to their bases, there is no intelligence on the Chinese vessel.
Top sources said that while the American submarine was the first to record the intensity of the tremor, because of advanced sonographic sensors, and dashed off nearly ten messages to its headquarters in California and Pacific base in Hawaii, the Indian vessel was to first to identify the earthquake, but its signal to its mainland base did not produce realtime reaction.
"Both the US and Chinese submarines reported a ‘strange undersea development’,†said a diplomat, “but only the Indian submarine got it right the first time, but it was impossible for the base to react fast enough, and if it could, the tragedy of such proportions could have been minimised.â€
Diplomats say that all three submarines were in the vicinity of the epicentre, and that they could have been flipped over by the quake, suffering damages in the process.

An intelligence report that got reported on the NewsInsight.net. You are advised to take it with a pinch of salt, but the source has proved its credentials over a period of time now. It says all three subs were near the epicenter in Sumatra. Indian, Chinese and American subs so close to each other that too in Indonesian waters .. why?
