Question by MY: Why do people say "the 411" instead of "information"? Im courious how people came up with that? I don't see how they could be related? Best answer for Why do people say "the 411" instead of "information"?:

Answer by kro
411 used to be the number you could dial on the phone for information.

Answer by Terry Brewer
411 is the number you used to call to get information like address and phone number of a business... 1800free411 was an ad supported version where as the original 411 was .99 cents each use... Hope this helps :)

Answer by OzoneGuy
It is still the number you dial to find out a telephone number for a person or business (at least in the US). Charges usually apply. Similarly, 911 is the number you dial for emergency services (again in the US).

The Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine USS Montpelier (SSN 765) returns to Naval Station Norfolk recently after a routine six-month deployment.

By NBC's Jim Miklaszewski and Courtney Kube

Updated at 9:24 a.m. ET: A U.S. Navy nuclear submarine and an Aegis cruiser collided during routine training off the U.S. East Coast at about 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.

US Navy

No personnel aboard either the USS Montpelier or USS San Jacinto were injured, Pentagon officials told NBC News. Both ships continued to operate under their own power.

The Montpelier is a nuclear-powered Los Angeles-class fast attack sub launched in 1991. The San Jacinto is an Aegis-class missile cruiser commissioned in 1988.

"We have had circumstances where Navy vessels have collided at sea in the past, but they're fairly rare as to how often they do take place," Lt. Commander Brian Badura of the Fleet Forces Command told The Associated Press reported.

"If we do have an incident that does take place, there are folks that swing into action... to help us make a better, more conclusive explanation of exactly what happened," Badura added.

The Navy said in a news release that "overall damage to both ships is being evaluated," and that the sub's propulsion plant was "unaffected by the collision."
