One of the best and most complex plots of one of my childhood favorite series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
Submarine Sunk Here. (A marker for future people to know where the end came to the sailors. There is a memorial plaque for the real life USS Flier on the photo array here, midway down on the right.)

Among the nitpickers:
Near the end when they counter-flooded to right the boat, from the interior camera angle indicating the sub’s list, they forced water into the lower side of the damaged boat allowing the boat to “right itself.” In actuality it should have made the angle of the boat steeper, preventing the diving bell from attaching itself to the Seaview hull.

maybe the 70’s are haunting them. “voyage to the bottom of the sea” applies.

As a sailor, one can't go much further wrong than having your new hot-stuff submarine sink at the pier.

3 words: Guitarro, Mare Island

[Rockingham]

Endemic, culturally embedded corruption, China’s communist system, and geographic constraints make it hard for China to achieve the naval capability to counter the US. China not only has to build the necessary ships, but they have to put them to sea properly manned and equipped, and they have to do so for months at a time without serious mishap. And they have to do it against the US Navy, an experienced and capable adversary. China is not there yet, if she ever will be.

Did someone forget to put the drain plug in?

Somewhere I read that 90% of Chinese naval vessels can’t sail more than 400 miles from the Chinese coast.

I wonder if there’s any truth to that assessment.

[Paul R.]

Damn. I was hoping it sunk in the Philippine Trench.

Screen door on a submarine joke immediately came to mind

Zhou-class

The correct Chinese translation is "Zhou-Sun-King"

No problem. The American consumer will gladly buy them another one.

[butlerweave]

Will they paint it Pink ?

PLOT CHANGE:

China claims it’s stealth sub sunk.

It quietly moves off into nuke position off the Cali coast to wait.
