Chinese Sub Pops Up Undetected Near U.S.S. Kitty Hawk During Exercise

[furie]

An unexpected visit by a Chinese Submarine that went undetected in the middle of a Pacific Ocean Naval exercise and came extremely close to the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk, has American military chiefs looking for answers.

The sub was apparently able to slip past at least a dozen U.S. warships, two U.S. submarines and a vast array of advanced technology, which failed to detect it.

When the Navy deploys a battle fleet on exercises, they take the security of the aircraft carriers very seriously. At least a dozen warships are used to provide a physical guard, and using advanced technology they are able to detect and deter any potential intruders.

By the time the Chinese sub surfaced, the 160ft Song Class diesel-electric attack submarine sailed within viable range for launching torpedoes or missiles at the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk, a 1,000ft. super carrier with 4,500 military personnel on-board.

OK, seriously, what is up with the late responses to news stories around here lately? This incident actually happened a year ago and was widely reported then. (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/11/14/world/main2179694.shtml)

Well, on the upside, at least they didn't smash into a fishing boat and kill a bunch of people. They've mastered that whole "surfacing on the gigantic ocean without murdering people" thing. Good for them.

Besides, they only wanted to see Montana.

You're too classy to be breaking out that kind of filthy language.

I gotta say, the fact that this story is a year old gives me great confidence in the National Terror Alert Response Center.

They should be gearing up their response to the Brits burning the White House any day now.

Is it wrong to hope?

When it encourages a pro-shark agenda...yes!

Damn those jerks of the sea.
