I am curious about the findings of the investigation.
Also, I wonder if the findings will be made public?

"... It was truly the catch of the day, or perhaps for Engen a catch of a lifetime. It wasn't an oversized halibut, but rather the submarine, which was on the surface when its propeller snagged the net, dragging it more than two nautical miles before it was finally cut off.  ..."

Apparently, this isn't the first time that a submarine has been caught in a fishing-net.

This article mentions a Russian Submarine that was caught in the 1980's
