It looks like there might be a reasonable explanation for the USS Newport News colliding with the Japanese tanker after all. This article says that Navy is thinking that the sub was drawn up into the tanker by the "venturi effect" as the tanker overtook and passed over the sub. The explanation passed the smell test as far as I'm concerned -- I discuss it a little more over at my home submarine blog.
Warning, some profanity in this one. I have also posted this at my own place...
