OK there's a big headline on this article, on the Drudgereport.
That said, when I linked there, the link wasn't working. But it seems clearly to link to this article.

A US oceanographic vessel Thursday had its underwater drone stolen by a Chinese warship literally right in front of the eyes of the American crew, a US defense official told CNN Friday.
In the latest encounter in international waters in the South China Sea region, the USNS Bowditch was sailing about 100 miles off the port at Subic Bay when the incident occurred, according to the official.

Gotta get while the getting is good. Obama is gone in 35 days and they know they can’t act like this when the new sheriff pins on the badge.
I wonder what the PLAN side of this will be?
Flexing their muscles. Remember that plane incident after Bush jr was elected.
“Gotta get while the getting is good.”
I think you’re right.
Look for more belligerent moves by Beijing. Also No. Korea and even Iran.
Kenyan foreign aid: drone to Iranians, sub to Chineese, more developing....
Put a bomb in another drone and “invite” the Chinese to steal it.
Then detonate the bomb once it’s on board.
I bet it won’t happen again !!
Eyes likes your thinin’, RWN!
You should be Trump’s SecDef
I would expect Trump to say to them, right off the bat — “If you try anything at all, I will attack your plane or your ship with the intent to destroy. Do not provoke an incident — or there WILL BE an incident. Be nice.”
This is clear act of War
You know just to not be one sided there are several possible reasons.
One is they know what a wimp Obama is. So do this before the unpredictable Trump comes into power.
Second is this is a response to Trump reaching out to Taiwan.
Of course this response to Trump reaching out to Taiwan might be timed because again, we have a wimp in the white House.
