USS Interference

The USS Interference was a submarine for the United States Navy.

Background
In 2066 the U.S. Navy Missile Cruiser USS Ebon Atoll was accidentally sunk by the U.S. Navy Submarine USS Interference during the Anchorage Reclamation. The Interference mistook the Ebon Atoll for an enemy vessel and shot it with a nuclear torpedo killing all on board. It is one of the worst U.S. Navy disasters since World War II.

Appearances
The USS Interference is mentioned only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
The USS Interference and the subsequent incident may be a reference to Interplay, which fired the entire Black Isle Studios staff in 2003 as the Interference torpedoed the Ebon Atoll and its crew.
