Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine

Thread: Cat 2 Hurricane Winds going through Texas

Are the submarine crew ok?

nope.

Anger grows in the French town of Cherbourg as residents fear hundreds of job losses after Australia terminated a $40-billion submarine deal abruptly last week. The submarine design work was underway in Cherbourg. Watch this report for more details.

Interesting! They should have backed out earlier, but fortunately for us, they did!

China is fixated on a mysterious US submarine incident in the South China Sea and keeps accusing the US of a cover-up

Chinese officials keep accusing the US of trying to cover up an incident involving a US submarine.

The Pentagon has denied the allegations, pointing to its public statements as evidence of transparency.

The incident happened in the South China Sea, where China and the US are often at odds.

Beijing keeps demanding answers about a mysterious US submarine incident that happened in the South China Sea earlier this month, accusing the US of being "cagey" and of trying to cover it up. The US insists that is not the case.

The Seawolf-class nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Connecticut collided with an object in early October, and Chinese officials have asked about it repeatedly since then.

Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Zhao Lijian said Tuesday that China has "grave concerns" and accused the US of being "irresponsible" and "cagey" by not providing details about the incident. He said the lack of details gives "every reason to question the truth and the intention of the US."

"What was USS Connecticut up to do secretively in the South China Sea this time? What did it collide with? Why did that collision happen?" Zhao asked. "Was there a nuclear leak that creates nuclear contamination in the marine environment?"

Zhao's statements Tuesday echo some he made on October 11, when he accused the US of "stonewalling" and engaging in a cover-up. His latest remarks also echo comments made by Ministry of National Defense spokesman Tan Kefei last week accusing the US of covering up the submarine incident with a "lack of transparency."

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby addressed Chinese allegations of a cover-up on October 12, saying that "it's an odd way of covering something up when you put a press release out about it."

US Pacific Fleet released a press statement on the submarine incident five days after the collision occurred on October 2, delaying its release because of operational security concerns. China has capitalized on that delay, suggesting it is suspicious.

The Navy said the submarine struck an object while submerged in international waters, writing that there were no life threatening injuries, that the sub was in stable condition, and that the nuclear-propulsion systems were not damaged.

The Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine USS Connecticut (SSN 22) struck an object while submerged on the afternoon of Oct. 2, while operating in international waters in the Indo-Pacific region. The safety of the crew remains the Navy’s top priority. There are no life threatening injuries.

The submarine remains in a safe and stable condition. USS Connecticut’s nuclear propulsion plant and spaces were not affected and remain fully operational. The extent of damage to the remainder of the submarine is being assessed. The U.S. Navy has not requested assistance. The incident will be investigated.

Thread: Cyprus: Union calls for suspension of rapid testing after toxic substance found

Thread: FDA PANEL BACKS PFIZER SHOT FOR KIDS: "WE'RE NEVER GOING TO LEARN ABOUT HOW SAFE THIS VACCINE IS UNLESS WE START GIVING IT"


Thread: MUST LISTEN: Phone Call Recording Between that Girl who was injured in the vaccine trial (Maddie) Parents and Pfizer. Pfizer denying claims...

Three people at a military base in Tacoma, Washington, were accidentally given COVID-19 vaccines while trying to get other jabs, officials admitted this week.

“Joint Base Lewis-McChord is aware three people were inadvertently administered the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine instead of another vaccine at the Lewis Main Exchange,” Army Col. Joey Sullinger told Military Times on Tuesday.

The statement did not say what vaccine the three had been seeking, and Sullinger did not immediately return The Post’s calls early Wednesday. The Pfizer shot is the only COVID one offered at the base.

The Army did not identify the trio who were accidentally jabbed, and the statement did not say if they were accidentally given extra shots or were previously unvaccinated.

“This incident is under investigation,” Sullinger told Military Times.

“Army medical professionals are notifying and ensuring the health and welfare of those affected,” he said of the base that is home to I Corps and 62nd Airlift Wing.

Did that mountain suddenly appear or what? Don't they have sonar on those subs?

agreed!! good question.

They fired the top 3 officers I heard on the news tonight. Said they were going too fast in not very well charted waters.

Agreed. This thread needs to be retired.

Yes they do, but think:

Your job is to stay undetected.

Do you a) Ping away with your active sonar or b) Rely on charts and inertial navigation?

This is such a classic GLP thread, I'm glad to have stumbled upon it again.

I've not been on this thread for at least a year, so I thought my last comment would be near the end of this thread. But no!

This thread keeps alive somehow, and it has grown considerably over the past year it seems. I love that this thread started in June 2010. That's a long time folks!

I reviewed the most recent pages quickly, and it also seems the replies can and do get far-off-track. So I'll add a little to get us back on track.

I live in Tampa (on the Gulf of Mexico) and I've wondered if a submarine could safely enter the Gulf of Mexico without detection, and is the Gulf deep enough and large enough for a modern military combat submarine to successfully perform? The Gulf is very shallow from Florida going out for 60 miles. The middle seems deep, and the Gulf seems large, but would a submarine patrol the Gulf, other than possibly a military drill or war game gone bad? Maybe a live torpedo was fired instead of the blank. I believe Alec Baldwin could speak to this from personal experience.

This thread is also classic GLP because you don't really know what gems you might find in a thread like this. For instance I love the post with all the Fandango Rangers!

WOW!
Outstanding!



I'm snagging those for my library, those are good ones!

Let me see, what can I add.

Ahhh....my membership just expired (again) so my library of smilies just disappeared. Help! Can anyone help me, my membership depends on green karma.

I'll end with a fun Naval Warfare inside scoop and analysis...just for GLP.

As you probably know, if a war started with China (for any reason) a large naval battle would be fought, the likes of such we have not seen since World War II in the Pacific. It would be massive and horrendous and fast. But what if China and Russia both have electronic technology that can shutdown a U.S. warship; by disrupting all navigation or shutting down the entire electrical system?

That would be bad...huh?
Very bad indeed.

For the new shills.

Who still wont understand.

Lol.
