In the peaceful coastal town of Kommetjie, close to the Slangkop Lighthouse, a distressing event occurred, taking the lives of three South African submariners by the unrelenting force of nature. Their vessel was struck by an enormous wave during a standard exercise, sweeping them overboard and into the unforgiving depths of the ocean. This tragic incident occurred amidst a massive storm surge that battered the Western Cape, with waves reaching astonishing heights of 9.5 meters in some areas.
