The ocean is fantastically huge. This had to have happened in some standard/used channels of travel for them to be close enough to each other. Amazing.

Of course, the Brits were on the wrong lane.
The ocean is huge, but these countries are neighbors, it's not like a Canada submarine colliding with a south African one...
Even the English channel is vast in comparison to even the largest ships. It's still ridiculously coincidental that this could happen.
I am aware, but it's not "fantasticly huge" as the ocean. Of course it's still a remarkable coincidence, just not as remarkable.
Or they were following the same Russian sub.
Of all the fishbowls in all the world...
Like when Scooby Doo and the Ghoul slowly back into each other quietly, and freak out.
Usually in the hallway with many interconnected doorways.
Man the Brits are pompous AF. The title of the guy is "First Sea Lord". Jeez man, take it down a notch will ya? Wait until Aquaman hears about your bullshit...
Of course it got to be the brits.
And of course it was the French. Those two can't go a week without pissing each other off
Being in contention for title of greatest nations ever will do that to you
BWAHAHAHAHA great joke!
Which nations have had bigger empires?
"bigger empire" ≠ better nation. It just means you can bully smaller nations easier
Great can mean grand
Oopsy Doopsy
