A Norwegian fishing boat has caught its largest ever haul a US navy nuclear-powered submarine weighing in at 7,800 tons.

The 32-foot fishing boat was on its way back to harbour in the northerly region of Troms on Monday when it discovered that a submarine had got tangled in its nets.

The USS Virginia's propellers got tangled in the nets, reports say, dragging them out to sea. The US Navy has sent several vessels into nearby waters in recent months amid tensions with Russia.

Harald Engen was delivering a catch of halibut to his home near the Malangen fjord in Norway when he got an unusual message, the Norwegian broadcaster NRK News reported.

He was told that the propellers of a submarine had become tangled in his nets and had dragged them 2 nautical miles ? about 2.3 miles ? out to sea, NRK reported.

The 377-foot, nuclear-powered USS Virginia had been on its way from the port of Troms?. The Norwegian coast guard confirmed to NRK that one of its vessels, which was escorting the submarine, had to help cut it loose from the nets.

"I know about other vessels that have sailed over fishing nets, but no one out here have ever heard about a submarine doing so," Engen said, per the Barents Observer.

Lt. Pierson Hawkins, a spokesperson for the US 6th Fleet, confirmed basic details of the incident to Business Insider but declined to confirm the name of the vessel. Nobody was hurt in the incident, he said, adding: "The investigation into the cause of the incident is still ongoing."
