Pay no attention to real subs today, our main enemy is one who think about developing weapons sometime in the future to attack us. Or so it is written.

Got agree with you on that one brother, we have no Surface ASW platforms right now. Maybe it was incidents like these that made Congress approve 400-15, the building of 2 Virginia Class boats a year. Someone has finally seen the light! But then here, I’m preaching to the Choir *L*.

Is this the same navy that wants to give the oceans to the UN?

Well, considering that the USN dismantled most of its ASW capabilities back in the early 1990s during the New World Order nonsense, I guess the admirals shouldn’t be too surprised...

Sneaking up on us is a lot easier for the ChiComms now because they are using stolen US technology... well, except for the stuff Bill Clinton gave to them. What exactly did we give them that would apply in this case?

They just wanted to “play” too. It sent an interesting message but also tipped their hand, big time. Something fishy about that ... if we can believe any of this, I must add.

Hi everyone
Apparently this may be last years story.
If the Chinese haven’t actually popped in on us for a year or so, we can relax.
There may be nothing to see here.
Move along.
;-D

What puzzles me in all this is why the submarine surfaced. Having snuck undetected into the middle of the task group one would think that the surfacing would be the last thing it would do. You do not advertise your capabilities to your opponent. It could be that the sub didn’t realize just how close it was to the carrier.

Wasnt it a rocket from John McCains jet that started the Forest Fire?? No. It was a missile from another plane that hit his.
