Which doesn't prevent a bow wave from capsizing nearby boats.
I am not claiming it didn't happen. I am just saying that every precaution is taken that it won't.
What was the size of the commercial fishing boat, anyway?

Hell, it was when I lived in the Jax area...I don't remember, but it must have been one of those small shrimp net draggers on the St. Marys River.

That's still a good sized boat to be capsized by a wake, even a sub's wake. Musta been hell to pay.

I recall there was a board that investigated, and then it disappeared from the news. I also vaguely remember reading that the bow waves were crashing over a seawall somewhere on the St. Marys River voyages.
