Norwegian sailors who set out for a routine fishing expedition made an unexpected and utterly sensational catch earlier this week when they managed to entangle an American nuclear-powered attack submarine.
The Øygutt, or 'Island Boy', a humble 10-metre-long fishing vessel, left port on the stunning village of Sommarøy high above the Arctic Circle on Monday. |

Having scooped hundreds of kilos of fish in a lucrative haul worth some £1,500 that morning, they redeployed the nets for a second load. |
