arXiv:2107.00828
Abstract
The article reflects the author's point of view on the disasters that occurred with American atomic submarines Thresher and Scorpion in 1960th and Indonesian diesel submarine Nanggala-420 in April 2021. A possible role of giant internal waves in such tragic events is discussed. Parameters of large-amplitude internal solitary waves, their shapes and speeds of propagation are presented. The author's reconstruction of the disasters is given.
