| Chinese drone rammed the American submarine USS Connecticut, nearly destroying its wheelhouse | |
| 2021-12-14 | |
The American nuclear submarine "USS Connecticut" suffered critical damage to the bow after collision with a Chinese underwater unmanned vehicle. Judging by the damage received, almost any submersion of this submarine would have led to flooding of the compartments, and the fact that the submarine carrying nuclear weapons miraculously was able to rise to the surface immediately after the collision indicates that the American command was very lucky.

| #12 Bertie, in the 60s, the duty shift was 6 on and 12 off. Running in place or weights or any rythmatic exercise was forbidden. All that is necessary is for on weighted article to hit the deck or a satellite to catch it near periscope depth to start tracking. Another bad thing was sound over the ships speakers. Like “man battle station for weapons system readiness test. |

| #10 The American nuclear submarine "USS Connecticut" suffered critical damage to the bow after collision with a Chinese underwater unmanned vehicle. Unmanned vehicle? You mean like a torpedo? That's an unmanned vehicle. |

| #9 ^ Yes, Bertie, very likely sleep deprivation's involved. The March 2021 Pentagon report, Study on Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Readiness of Members of the Armed Forces, explains that “In the United States, 37 percent of people regularly don’t get their recommended seven to nine hours of sleep per night. For military personnel, that number climbs to 76 percent,” highlighting sleep deprivation issues that many face within the military community. |

| #8 I hate to think it, but given the great number of U.S. Navy f-ups over the last few years, is it possible the crew was asleep? |

| #7 Disinformation. If the Chinese had done anything like that the deep state would be shouting it from the mountaintops. Instead they tried to cover it up - a sure sign there's blame to be spread. |

| #4 Just how big and fast are these Chinese unmanned Subs? Maybe not a mountain, but large enough to do damage makes me wonder why we didn't detect it. Have the Chicoms got some digital "voodoo" that makes it undetectable? All sounds fishy. |

| #3 I would think a nuke sub would have the ability to "see" a mountain. |

| #1 I thought it crashed a mountain? US Navy Seawolf-class attack submarine USS Connecticut arrives in San Diego with visible damage to its bow after crashing into an underwater mountain in the South China Sea in October |
