Even in speculation mode, I'm astonished this wasn't posted to FR (that I could find).
Many rumors & inconsistencies (e.g., batteries vs. nuclear vs hypoxia, etc.), but the common thread is both the level of secrecy and tone of disinformation.
Most interesting to me is reports that it got snagged in seafloor 'defenses'/'traps' placed by CCP for Taiwan/US subs, a revelation.
Awaiting forthcoming updates in the days/weeks to follow...

A revelation in many ways. Thanks for posting.

“55 Presumed Dead After China’s Nuclear Sub Gets Caught In Trap Meant For US, Its Allies: Reports”
Let’s see if the usual bunch tries to blame Putin for this also. Based on what they’re claiming, without evidence, regarding the Palestinian attack on Israel, you’d think Putin’s generals organized it.

If you set a trap for your enemy you need to ensure you yourself dont get snagged.

Must be a lot of crap down there, had no clue about the traps either. But, overall, submarine accidents are always kept very quiet - expect that clown who tried to go down to the Titanic in a fiberglass vessel - he got plenty of publicity.

Proof of concept?
Maybe it was the bat soup?
One is reminded of the proverb about digging a trap for one’s enemy, and then falling into it instead.

That's a very large sub (about the same size as a USN Los Angeles Class) - only 55 lost? Still, yikes.

A nuclear sub couldn’t stay submerged for six hours? I wonder what they broke that caused them to suffocate in such a short time.
This doesn’t make a lot of sense. (Not blaming you, Logi…)
To: logi_cal869
Great news. Hopefully they send their best guys over there to retrieve the sub and all the missiles blow up at the same time when they Bering it back to their base

"This resulted in systems failures that took six hours to repair and surface the vessel. The onboard oxygen system poisoned the crew after a catastrophic failure."These two sentences seem somewhat contradictory...
Anyway what kinda trap was it?

Whose to say they weren’t the guinea pigs to test the efficacy of said trap.

Rumors were circulating on social media and then in the news only a day after the incident. Most reports included the inaccurate detail that the submarine accident occurred in the Taiwan Strait rather than the Yellow Sea.

If I was on board I know my last thoughts would be “this reflects poorly on the PLA Navy’s capabilities.”

cheaters get caught at some time. I guess it happened for the submarines of China.
