      spoiler: is not the type of controlled sunk – that submarines love to do.

      I’m not gonna lie china. You surrounding your self with russia and north korea as your buddies really put a military damper on your progression. Its like surrounding your self with a bunch of crack heads and expecting not to get brain rot.

      Spoiler alert.  Every nation that’s had a substantial submarine program has had a sub sink in dock during testing.   It didn’t stop any nation from continuing their submarine programs.

      This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/china-nuclear-attack-submarine-sank-us-officials-says/) reduced by 83%. (I’m a bot)

      > Satellite imagery showed that China's newest nuclear-powered attack submarine sank alongside a pier while under construction, a U.S. military official confirmed to CBS News on Thursday.

      > The submarine likely sank between May and June, when satellite images showed cranes that would be necessary to lift it off the bottom of the river, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details about the submarine loss.

      > Thomas Shugart, a former U.S. Navy submariner and an analyst at the Center for a New American Security, first noticed the incident involving the submarine in July, though it wasn't publicly known at the time that it involved the new Zhou-class vessel.

      Advanced metallurgy remains a problem for the Chinese. They’ve obviously improved significantly, but the level that the US Industry can pull off remains a bar too high for them in this sector.

      wouldn’t the best stealth submarine trick you into thinking it sunk? while it’s actually… RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!

      I miss my old job in the submarine Intel community. Guarantee we knew about this as it was happening.

      Wonder if that’s where the mysterious missile came from the other day

      Guys that’s not a problem. It’s supposed to sink by design, which they nailed. It’s the failed un-sinking system that is the problem. /s

      Now you know what it’s like to get cheap crap from China, China.

      Probably forgot to steal the design for the ballast control system.

      >  An image taken June 15 appears to show the submarine either fully or partially submerged just under the river’s surface, with rescue equipment and cranes surrounding it. 

      Not the best evidence. The dark shape looks like a crane’s shadow.

    32. Dockers4flag2035orB4 on

      I think the fact it didn’t surface is more a problem.

      A submarine can’t really sink; it just becomes an underwater base. “Sorry for the inconvenience, but we’re still fully operational—just more committed to our mission of submersion”
