http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_San_Francisco_(SSN-711)#Collision_with_seamount

On January 8, 2005 the US Navy submarine San Francisco was transiting the western Pacific when she collided with a previously uncharted underwater mountain top. The boat survived and managed to reach Guam and later the Puget Sound shipyard where she was repaired.

In OTL 23 crew where injured an one enlisted crewman died of injuries on the 9th of January. Reports after the fact mentioned that the ship came close to being lost due to the collission and massive damage it caused.

How would the Navy, and the US in general react to the loss of an entire modern attack submarine and all 127 members of her crew?
