A Royal Navy nuclear submarine was involved in a collision with a French nuclear sub in the middle of the Atlantic, it has been reported.

It is understood HMS Vanguard and Le Triomphant were badly damaged in the crash earlier this month.

Despite being equipped with sonar, it seems neither vessel spotted the other, the BBC's Caroline Wyatt said.

The UK's Ministry of Defence is not commenting on the reports, but insisted nuclear security had not been breached.

Our defence correspondent said the submarines were both "seriously-armed".

The alleged incident is being investigated on both sides of the Channel, although initial reports indicate the french vessel was travelling on the wrong side of the road, she said.

They were both in stealth mode, playing hide & seek.

I like the way the CND described it as a "nuclear nightmare of the highest order".

What, no radiation leak and no nukes went off? That is your worst nightmare??
