Two crew die in submarine tragedy
The nuclear-powered submarine is based at Norfolk, Virginia
|
Two crew members of an American submarine have died after falling overboard in Plymouth Sound.
They were among four crewmen who were working in poor weather on the outside casing of the USS Minneapolis-St Paul off the Devon coast.
A rescue helicopter from RNAS Culdrose, a tug boat and a lifeboat were sent to the men’s aid while they were tied on to the side of the 110m (362ft) vessel.
The sailors were brought back to shore and taken by ambulance to hospital.
