From the comments:
They were transferring someone off the sub and the tug lost power. Current kept the tug next to the sub until it got stuck on the back there. Tug got power again and backed off, ripping the hull open.

Everyone got rescued and delivered back to shore.

According to Wikipedia the tug lost power when crewmen were transferring from the sub to the tug. The tug got caught on the rear fin of the sub and eventually took enough damage to sink. Two of the engine crew on the tug were killed.

Thanks. The way it was titled, it sounded more intentional or something.

Well poo poo, guess that's what I get for relying on the comments section on YouTube.

The tug's engines failed after coming alongside the sub and she was dragged along until her hull got cut open by the sub's dive planes. It's not known exactly what happened to the engines because the engine room crew drowned when she sank.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Secota_(YTM-415)

quote:

On 22 March 1986, near Midway Island, Secota had just completed a personnel transfer with the USS Georgia when Secota lost power and collided with Georgia. Secota lost power before it was clear, causing an impact with the sub's stern dive planes, where the tug got hung up.[1] Secota sank; ten crewman were rescued, but two crew trapped in the engine room drowned. While the media reported that the Georgia was undamaged,[2] a report sent by the Commanding Officer of the Georgia indicates that after returning the surviving crew members to Hawaii, Georgia underwent emergency repairs for minor damage sustained in the collision.[3]

I was the bridge phone talker and here�s what really happened -

We were transferring one guy off the boat due to a death in the family. After he was on board and just as they cast off the last line, the tug lost power and the current kept it pressed against our side and pushed it aft. The tug landed on the vertical stabilizer on our starboard stern plane and, after restarting the engine, the tug backed off, ripping open her hull. We picked up the survivors and took them to Pearl Harbor.

And to correct a few erroneous comments - The incident occurred off Midway Island in about 5000' of water. Since it was a Chief who made the �there goes the mail� comment, there was no Mast, but he was not a happy camper for a long time after that. The alarm is a collision alarm, not an engineering one. Due to operational concerns, a backing bell with left rudder was not an option, though that could have pushed him away from the hull (hindsight is always 20/20).

After investigating and reviewing the video, it was determined that everything that could have been done was, no charges were filed and no one was relieved of duty because of this

Oh well I should have clarified - the power was out, that's why we got called. Fuse was open, probably faulted out when everything was wet with morning dew, though obviously everything had been burning for a while.

There'd be no way to clear up something like that with the line energized.

I figred as much but I didn't know if there were any black magic tricks to do it I couldn't think of.

I mean, not really? Looks like they hit fore and aft of the anti-michelin bulges. Sure they're gonna do some showy damage and maybe slow them a bit, but it's not going to incapacitate them.
