| Snort what they thought it was
Scores of Sydneysiders woke to the sight of thick white smoke coming from a Collins-class submarine off Sydney's northern beaches this morning, but their fears of a fire were unfounded - it was just the ageing sub's batteries recharging.
Water police were inundated with calls from concerned residents shortly after 7am when thick diesel smoke was seen coming from the vessel off the coast of Broken Bay.
But a Defence Department spokeswoman said the smoke was not the result of a fire or terrorist attack, but a standard procedure called surface snorting.
