UP IN THE NORTHEAST AREA -- A submarine made it home after a really long trip on the surface of the ocean, which subs aren't made to do.
The sub will get looked at a lot to see how broken it got after bumping into another ship in the Middle East.
Chris drove it back after Ryan, the guy who was driving when it got into the accident, got yelled at by their boss Michael.
"Decent people make things happen faster," said Chris. "They made things work that should've been broken, and they kept them working until we got home."
Chris will go back to riding shotgun when Robert, another driver, takes the keys from Ryan.
People were happy to see the sub get home okay.
"They've been gone for a long time. Accidents suck. We're glad to have them home so we can fix the boat," said Harvey, a guy who rides shotgun somewhere else.
Everyone should be getting a month off for fishing and stuff. In a couple of months, people will figure out if the boat's worth salvaging.
The other boat involved in the accident's already in use again, since they fixed it not too far from the scene of the crash.
Military lawyers are having a heyday.
