"On the day the USS Connecticut struck the underwater mountain there were soaring tensions with China after 39 warplanes breached Taiwanese airspace. A record 56 aircraft flew into the zone two days later in a 24-hour period"

The South China Sea has been an area of considerable interest for a long time. I’m surprised that there could still be an uncharted seamount. Unless it is awfully close to the mainland, as in territorial waters.

I bet their diversity, equity and inclusion training scores were exemplary, though.

That was a quick decision. Fired the leadership of the USS Connecticut after it collided with a Seamount that even the U.S. Navy admitted was an uncharted seamount.
If its uncharted how the hell was the navigator supposed to know what hidden hazards were going to be in the vessels path?

U.S.S. Connecticut? Seamount? They should call it “doing a Lamont”.

According to various online forums and chat groups they hit an artificial Chinese fish farm made from an old derrick
Someone posted recent pics of a US sub with coming tower damage

Sounds fishy.
Why were the ChiComs so angry about it?

Interesting thought you have there.
Maybe the construction crew put Trump’s wall over to the west a little bit?

seems kinda stupid to float through the ocean blind, for 3.1 billion dollars you should have windshield wipers, cameras, sonar, radar, laser reflection, lidar, guide pods, who knows
