What happens after the destruction of the USS Bedford?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bedford_Incident
Seems very possible Finlander buries it...& insists Munceford not report it, for "national security".
It's not like a sub disappearing would be news to the Sov Navy...![]()
As I remember, Finlander fired first...joeferrito said:How are either of 'em in a position to do anything after Bedford takes a couple nuclear torpedoes? Finlander won't be making ANY decisions anymore.

The Englander Incident was better, anyway.
Could it be taken as the torpedoes going off inside the sub and Bedford simply being within the blast-range?

You've missed my point. I had the impression Finlander sank the Sov boat before she fired on Bedford. (I may've forgotten a counterattack.) In the first case, it gets buried. In the second, it's likely both sides bury it to avoid an escalation--if either or both can actually determine what happened. At that time, I'm not sure the ability to detect atmospheric nuclear blasts was as well-developed as we're used to...Escape Zeppelin said:Both sides lost a ship, there's a series of explosions far out to sea, and no survivors.
