A U.S. Navy submariner recalls an encounter with a massive creature that scraped across the hull of the ship while off the coast of Hawaii. Was it a Kraken?
I received the following account:
"I was in the U.S. Navy on submarines, and I had a buddy in the barracks who was a sonar tech on another sub. They listen for things in the water all day, that’s their only job (when they’re on watch, at least).
Anyway, one day they were in local waters, off the coast of Hawaii by a few hundred miles doing training or whatever when suddenly the whole boat heard something large make noise against the hull. It made a zipper/popping noise from the front of the boat all the way to the back. There was supposed to be NOTHING in the area. No sonar buoys from training aircraft, no floating rope or buoy that had a chain, or anything else that could give a logical explanation for the noise.
They surfaced the ship to check for damages and noticed a few of the sound-dampening tiles (they’re kind of rubbery/foamy) that cover the boat were ripped off that hadn’t been previously. It was unclear whether the thing that caused the noise was what removed them since they sometimes just fell off anyway.
But my buddy was pretty darn sure it was the suckers of a giant squid or some other monster mollusk that made the noise. I guess to him it sounded suction-cup-like. He was almost certain it was a biological noise, not mechanical. The only problem is that giant squids only get to about 30’ long, whatever made the noise was appreciably bigger.
So anyway he tells everyone his boat was fondled by a Kraken. I believe him!" G
