I don't get the impression that the US Navy is too terribly tolerant of these kinds of things. A few years ago a Sub surfaced under a Japanese fishing boat near Hawaii. That was about the last day that Captain was in charge of anything.

It wasn't just a surface, they were doing the emergency surface where the nose comes up out of the water very fast...like a breaching whale....all because some dignitary was on board and they wanted to show off. They didn't do the due diligence and ensure there were no other vessels around before the maneuver...people on that boat died.

Check out the Wiki page on it. She ran aground in Saipan later in the year after the Ehime Maru collision, and 5 months later collided with the USS Ogden off the coast of Oman!
