  It should be remembered that this is not the first time a Russian
sub has collided with an American carrier.  At first, I thought that
this was just another end result of another game of 'chicken' which
Russian sub commanders seem to engage in with American ships.  Remember
the collision between another Russian sub and the aircraft carrier
John F. Kennedy in the Med. some years ago,  that too was a game of
chicken that they were playing.  As I understand, the Navy has standing
orders to commanders not to 'chicken out', and remain on course.
