Equipped with nuclear warheads, giving China a triad nuclear capability.
And who says we do not need Trump???
The US conceives the millions of parts in its subs and has developed these ships and built them and operated them for millions of hours over the past hundred years.
China has virtually no experience by comparison. I pity the poor bastards that have to go to sea in one of these.
Well for cryin’ out loud! It’s a muzzle loader!
Wonder if that missile has the “Bill Krinton” guidance system?
Ping
Sighted Sub,
Sank Shang
Big deal! A nuclear sub is so yesterday.
A state of the art military today is one that allows cross dressers to serve openly, allows same sex marriage, provides for sex change surgery, pays soldiers overtime when they work more than 40 hours, waters down standards so women can pass the tests, doesn’t allow soldiers to carry weapons on base, provides outreach to the enemy (muslims), castigates Christian chaplains, drop leaflets to the enemy so they won’t get hurt..
Have I missed anything?
The retrograde Chinese don’t stand a chance against a progressive force like ours.
Looks like they need to work on their paint.
Is that grunge and barnacles below the launch tubes?
Oh, "Shang!" Never mind.
The torpedo loading was led by 1st Officer Bang Ding Ow.
This sub class is an improvement for the Chinese.
Roughly equivalent to the VLS equipped Los Angeles class...which is three generations old in US service.
Not close to the Sea a Wolf or the Virginias, or the UKs Astute class.
The Chinese may have 3 or 4 of this new glass.
We still have well over 20 advanced LA class, three Sea Wolves, and now a dozen Virginias...and building a lot more.
A Chinese SSN can be heard from no less than 300 miles.
...and how much of it is built on technology stolen when the West dropped its guard and started thinking of the ChiComs as a responsible world trading partner?
i wouldn’t trust a chinese engineer as far as i could throw him. it was insane to me that so many tech companies starting hiring them 20 or so years ago after we had clear evidence (Tianamen Square) that the ChiComs were the same as they’d always been.
they’ve never been held accountable for their war crimes against US soldiers during the Korean conflict. they are still our enemy.
When Capt. Kirk of the USSN Enterprise saw pictures of the new Red Chinese submarine, he yelled “SHANGGGGG”!
They have to load their torpedoes through the torpedo tubes instead topside?
