This is apparently recycled news, based on a thread from yesterday. Note that the article doesn't give the date when the incident happened.

The uninvited guest: Chinese sub pops up in middle of U.S. Navy exercise,(military chiefs red-faced)

Moreover, according to FR's resident naval expert Jeff Head, the ChiCom sub may have been "convinced" to surface during the encounter. If so, then it was probably a 688 attack sub accompanying the Kitty Hawk that scared the ChiComs out of the water.

‘Moreover, according to FR’s resident naval expert Jeff Head, the ChiCom sub may have been “convinced” to surface during the encounter. If so, then it was probably a 688 attack sub accompanying the Kitty Hawk that scared the ChiComs out of the water.’

A reassuring theory except that a sub should never be allowed to get remotely that close to a carrier. That’s the role of the picket ships, to keep them away. Active sonar pinging from any ship is enough to convince a sub skipper it’s time to leave.
