China has issued stiff condemnation over the revelation of a U.S. nuclear submarine was in the South China Sea after the vessel collided with an unknown object.
The USS Connecticut made contact with an object while submerged Tuesday, causing several non-life-threatening injuries to the crew onboard. The submarine was operating in the South China Sea and reached Guam Friday.
Officials revealed no details about the collision or extent of damage to the USS Connecticut, but China’s Foreign Ministry expressed "serious concern" over the incident.

So is one of their subs missing or laying on the ocean floor with dying ChiCom sailors gasping for breathe?
American woke Navy can’t seem to keep billion dollar warships and subs from crashing. I am not sure we could win a conventional war in the Pacific.
Maybe china rammed us and sank, and we won’t report it. Or after being attacked we sank it..
If aNY ONE IS AT THE BOTTOM ITS THEM
WTF would China care if we hit an unidentified object?
Pong is at the bottom of the sea.
Their view is that the own the South China Sea and no one should be there without their permission.
We and our allies are saying that what you want is not what you get.
With this and Taiwan, it is getting very warm!
Indeed and I don’t think they have the forward power
It was Godzilla. No, wait. That was in the Sea of Japan.
Fighting the last war. A conventional war with China is impossible. They could colonize Africa and wouldn’t miss the population.
If we wanted to keep China in check, the best way would be to bring India into NATO. We would shift manufacturing to India. India has a lot of great accomplishments but also still has lots of needs.
They probably put the object there.
It is a little astonishing that we put damage reports about nuclear submarines on the internet. No idea how or why sonar/radar/maps didn’t identify the object.
“A conventional war with China is impossible.”
Absolutely 100% correct.
Outside of India and China’s allies, China can virtually take over and control the entire planet with the population they have.
If they have to fight India, they will have a huge problem.
The USS Greeneville set the precedent.
The Greenville incident was hard to hide because it was a public event and killed a bunch of civilians. This is quite a bit different. Maybe they have a good reason to publicize it that we are not privy to. Hard to imagine what that could be just saying maybe.
I think the Sonar crew was too busy attending their daily white guilt, CRT and gender awareness session, to keep an eye on the screen.
Undersea
Submerged
Object
Its was aliens, I knew it
and the underwater aliens are not happy!
Not sure if there will be a war
Just read a Bloomberg or Reuters article US companies are moving back to China in droves because Vietnam and other such companies cannot meet the demands of US manufactures or no infrastructure
Our elites are truly the biggest idiots in the world
Companies = countries
The South China Sea is hazardous for subs because it is shallow.
