0bambi should be pleased....Chinese sub fitted with solar cells.

When submerged DONT TURN ON THE DIESELS....
You will suck up all the air.
Disregarding the source and editorial adjectives, I'd say the U.S. exercise acomplished what it set out to do. Flushed a ChiCom boat. Anything made public was some good PsyOps.
