BaltACD Paul Milenkovic Submarines? Did I hear you say submarines? Aren't those things able to submerge? Only when the water is deep enough! I have my doubts that any navigable river channel is deep enough to permit a sub to submerge. Deep harbor channels for ocean vessels are from 39 to 50 feet deep.

Folks are so earnest that a person cannot tell a joke around here . . .
If GM "killed the electric car", what am I doing standing next to an EV-1, a half a block from the WSOR tracks?
Subs stay surfaced until they have passed out of the harbor. And surfaced, they protrude quite far above the waterline (see picture):

I don't know if ant of the Navy's submarines were trapped by this situation, but if they were, I would imagine they would already be looking for a crane to remove the offending span.
Thames river bridge suffered a short circuit and fire. It may not be able to move for several (?) weeks. Fortunately the bridge was down and trains can continue to use it. What would Amtrak have done if it had been up?
