How much does that quieter technology cost? And what’s the address of the Clinton foundation?
Fortunately for them, word is the US Navy’s new P-8 can’t do ASW.
“why are the Chinese lagging behind in nuclear submarines when they seem to be advancing in leaps and bounds in almost every other field?”
Trick question, because Clinton could only serve two terms as president.
Shouldn’t someone tell the Navy that?
P-8 Poseidon

Mission
The P-8A Poseidon is being designed to replace the P-3C Orion as a long-range anti-submarine warfare (ASW)...
Primary Function: Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and...
Well,
Bill did give the chi coms the info on how to make nukes real small.
It doesn’t matter how noisy they are if they strike first.
You can have the plans to a state of the art piece of US tech, but that doesn’t mean you can reliably reverse engineer and duplicate it on a large scale. Ship yards, contractors, manufacturers all need to be brought up to the technology.
I hope the U.S.Navy is Not underestimating the capabilities of the Chinese Navy.With all of the Intelligence agents they have running around in this country who knows what information they have gleaned from the navy and all of its numerous contractors.
Submarine warfare is an area we can’t afford to be on the losing side.
quick, send chelsea to westinghouse, and keep this off of email and crackberry
:-( :-( :-(
What if the noise is a head-fake by the inscrutable Chinese?
What Clinton could not finish, Obama will

They don’t need to be that quiet. They can overwhelm their adversaries with volume.
If that is true, the military should have corrected that. Did they not swear to protect the country against foreign and domestic enemies?
After the present clown leaves the WH, the floodgates of information on him will open up and Congress critters will beat their breasts, loudly protesting: “I didn’t know”
I should hope the US Navy is not complaining?
I doubt the cost is the issue.
The key is a manufacturing technology, and it's simply a matter of finding a vendor willing to sell it to them.
The Soviet Union was able to find a vendor back in the 80's, and it made it more difficult for the US to track their subs. When it became public, I was so pissed I refuse to buy anything from that company, to this day.
Beat me to it! The other part is China doesn’t care if you know they are there and they actually seem to want to be “loud and proud”. I drive a midsize stodgy sedan yet I continuously pass and out drive high end sports cars all the time. It’s how willing you are to use and maximize your equipment that counts. If I use all of my POS car and you are able or are only willing to use 30% of your Maserati, I win. Also I don’t care if my POS is damaged but you worry about your Maserati all the time. I win again.
