Der Anlaß: ZITAT Danish trawler scoops up German sub in its nets </font>
COPENHAGEN : A Danish trawler made a surprise catch when it scooped up a German submarine in its nets, forcing the vessel to rise to the surface, Danish sea rescue officials said. The trawler was fishing in the Skagerrak waters between Norway and Denmark, about 20 nautical miles off the Danish port of Hirtshals, when it made its unusual catch. "But the trawler's nets were not able to withstand (the weight of) this extraordinary catch," a sea rescue duty officer told AFP. "The crew of the trawler was never in danger, they were more scared than anything else. And a German vessel helped the captured submarine to disentangle itself and continue on its route," he said. The German sub was taking part in NATO manoeuvres in the region, "Blue Game 2004" featuring 70 vessels from 16 countries. This is not the first time a Danish fishing boat has had a close encounter with a submarine in the region. In March 1984, three crewmen were killed when their trawler was pulled to the bottom by a German submarine caught in its nets. |

QUOTE U.S. wants to lease Swedish submarine By TOMMY GRANDELL, Associated Press (Published September 27‚ 2004) STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - The United States wants to lease a Swedish attack submarine for naval exercises in the Baltic Sea in a deal possibly worth tens of millions of dollars, defense officials said Sunday. The Swedish submarine would play an "enemy" role in the exercises. "We have asked the government for permission," Swedish military spokesman Anders Hedgren told The Associated Press. The Swedish submarine also would participate in joint submarine rescue exercises with the Americans, Hedgren said. Defense Ministry spokeswoman Paula Burreau confirmed that talks were ongoing between Sweden and the United States. The Green Party, which supports the government in parliament, criticized the proposed deal. "Sweden has accused the United States for being involved in a war violating international law in Iraq. This deal feels ill-timed under the circumstances," Green Party spokesman Lars Aangstroem said. Stationing a submarine with a full Swedish crew outside Sweden for a year would cost as much as $21.2 million a year, press reports said. The 200-foot-long attack submarine has a crew of 33. Vice Admiral Kirkland H. Donald, Commander Submarine Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, praised the Swedish submarines during a visit to Sweden last month. "The Swedish submarines are silent and have an excellent combat management system. They can be submerged for weeks. I am happy that we are on the same side," Donald said. Sweden has amended its staunch neutrality policy in recent years, leaving more room for increased military cooperation with other countries. It is a keen contributor to U.N. peacekeeping operations but has not fought a war since invading neighboring Norway in 1814. quelle langsam scheint man das problem "feindliche ssks" bei der us-navy wirklich eine sehr hohe priorität zuzuweisen. mich wundert nur das die wahl auf schweden gefallen ist. naja mal sehen was draus wird. |
