Solo sailor avoids near-collision with U.S. Navy submarine in Florida
Deasy said she was low on diesel and fighting a 10-knot current when Navy officials ordered her away from the submarine.
- On June 4, solo sailor Savannah Deasy nearly collided with a U.S. Navy submarine while navigating the St. Mary's River near Fernandina Beach, Fla., in a close call that left her terrified.
- Fighting a 10-knot current while her boat ran low on diesel fuel, Deasy struggled to maintain control during the river launch, creating dangerous conditions for the encounter.
- "That was absolutely insane," Deasy said in profanity-laced TikTok footage where she admitted the situation was entirely her fault and chalked it up to "boat life."
- Navy officials ordered Deasy to leave the area immediately upon spotting her vessel; she complied by turning around and apologizing profusely to the crew.
- Deasy plans to upgrade her handheld radio and increase backup radio volume to prevent future close calls, though officials have not confirmed the submarine's specific class or speed.
