A Titan III or IV has two strap on solid fuelled boosters in addition to it’s two main liquid fuelled engined. How do you propose something that big got on a sub?

Chinese ballistic missile submarine Type-095 was scheduled to be deployed in 2010. It carries 12 JL-2 missiles with an 8000km range. 3-4 MRVS each. The Type-095 is supposed to be very, very quiet. And since we don’t want to disturb the whales. Maybe the ears were off.

Magic.

Why are you trying to harsh these people's mellow? (spoken in my best hippie/surfer dude accent).

I did not propose anything, I simply stated the contrail off the east coast looked very very similar to the contrail of the Titan rocket launch.

I did not resemble a plane....to me.

There was a huge plume down low, then a tight, dense arching contrail as the Titan shot out of sight.

Just tellin my perspective, whether or not I noticed the particular design makeup of the Titan should be left up to rocket scientist as yourself...wouldn't you agree Herr Oberth?
