God Help Us and keep us Safe! With love! MAPN
I am very glad everyone is okay, my boyfriend is on the Montpelier and I thought my worst fear had almost come true, him not coming back home. Words cannot explain how grateful I am knowing that he and all the crew members are okay. But there is a reason why they are he best at what they do.
Thank God no one was hurt. I think some people should reread their comments before they post them, some of us have loved ones on the submarine .

Hi The impression I have here in Brazil is that the exercises involving the U.S. Navy are always performed by observing the highest possible fidelity with emergency situations of conflict or threat of war. Hence, accidents happen, and this collision was no different. We have to thank the ability of men to control damage and malfunction of both vessels for serious work that must be done, which certainly meant that there were no injuries or deaths. As always, congratulations to the USNavy!
