VIRGINIA : U.S. Nuclear Sub, Saudi Ship Collide
From Times Staff and Wire Reports

It was the latest in a spate of Navy accidents this year, including crashes of several F-14 fighter jets. The collision damaged a control plane and the rudder of the submarine Jacksonville, which headed for port at the Norfolk Navy Shipyard under its own power.
