But with both nations keeping at least one nuclear-armed submarine constantly at sea for the past 40 years, he said it was no surprise that they had eventually ended up in the same area of ocean.

Mmm, yes. "Nuclear deterrent." Keeping nukes at sea at all times means you'd better think twice before nuking us. This is the same reason why places like Iran and North Korea would want nukes. They aren't merely for destruction. It's what they
can do more so than what they do. When was the last time nukes were used against anybody? When was the first time?
As far as the collision is concerned, you should always factor in human error. Technology only works when you know how to work it without fail. Sometimes it fails; sometimes the operator(s) fail(s).
Yeah, this is pretty scary.
