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.

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.

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

> 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.

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”
