Claim that Royal Navy sub caused fishing boat Bugaled Breizh tragedy

The mystery surrounding the sinking of a fishing trawler off the Cornish coast continued this week as an anonymous witness claims that the Royal Navy was involved in the disaster that killed five Breton fishermen.

A whistle blower, who is believed to be a retired submarine officer from the French Navy, claims that the Devon port based submarine HMS Turbulent hit the fishing boat when involved in a war games exercise with the French Navy in the vicinity of the Bugaled Breizh on the day it sank. The claim is thought to come from a first-hand account and is "100 % reliable", according to the weekly `Le Marin' newspaper. The witness is reported to have heard a radio message from the commander of HMS Turbulent saying that the submarine had to return to base having suffered damage, shortly after the sinking of the Bugaled Breizh.

Lawyers acting for the families of the drowned fishermen said that they would like to call on the anonymous witness to appear in France's Supreme Court, which started its investigation into the sinking last week.
