Our sub apparently hit an underwater rock that was remarkably shaped like a ChiCom sub.

If you can’t use active sonar because of your location you better have a real good inertial navigation system or you might run into a mountain.

Uhh, don’t they have advanced underwater sonar type electronics or do they just navigate blind?

It confused the captain, Chinese Blinkers go 'Off - On' instead of 'On - Off'.

The way the Chinese are complaining I wonder if we didn’t hit and sink one of their subs.
