#2 Submarine? We ain't got no stinkin' submarine. (Somebody had to do it) If this is a Chinese nuclear boat just how is it navigating? Curb Feelers?

#3 The same way all submarines navigate . . . dead reckoning and sonar. Sonar keeps them away from all the big stuff under water and they simply keep an eye on their speed and direction while submerged. Once they surface they can use their illegally acquired GPS . . . er . . . sextant to determine their position.

#5 Next time one is in their waters they should just sink it. Ain't no denying it crossed the link if the wreck is sitting on the bottom.

Then again, they could sink it and then just say "What sub? Did you lose a sub?"

#6 The Japanese need to lower the response time in order to catch it IN territorial waters to sink it. I am sure they are looking that issue over now.

#7 AP, yep. I think the IJN knew exactly where the sub was and it did something they didn't like, so they lit it up, politcally and acoustically.
