The long-range hunter-killer submarine was involved in a partial flooding incident which resulted in a fire at sea, whilst she was en route from UK to Canada. 2,000 litres of seawater had entered the submarine and caused an electrical panel to short out, which in turn started a major fire and caused all power to cut out, leaving the submarine adrift in heavy seas 100 nautical miles (190 km) north-west of County Mayo, Ireland. Nine crewmembers were affected by smoke inhalation and the ship was left drifting without power in heavy seas. By the evening of 7 October, the weather had abated, and the Chicoutimi was towed to Faslane Naval Base in Scotland. One crew member died of his injuries.

She broke in two, resulting in Alaska′s worst oil spill since that of the Exxon Valdez in 1989. Two United States Coast Guard Sikorsky HH-60J Jayhawk helicopters lifted all 26 crew members from Selendang Ayu′s wreck, saving 20 of the crew, but one of the helicopters, carrying seven Selendang Ayu crew members and its own crew of three, crashed after spray from a rogue wave breaking over the wreck engulfed it. A Eurocopter HH-65 Dolphin from the medium endurance cutter USCGC Alex Haley (United States Coast Guard) rescued the downed Jayhawk′s crew and one Selendang Ayu crew member who had been aboard the Jayhawk, but the other six Selendang Ayu crew members aboard the Jayhawk perished in the crash.[20][35]
