Imagine how much worse it would be for them if they have to use these things against a second navy that has subs that don’t randomly sink.

isn’t that what submarine is supposed to do?

The article is a bit sparse on details. Surely, if it sank in the shipyard they could pump the water out and raise it. The shipyard depth can’t be that prohibitive. Also, the bloody thing would get in the way of future builds, lying there on the bottom on the wharf.

So that’s James Earl Jones’ secret mission huh?

Nice, now we have the CCP leaving a nuclear reactor sitting at the bottom of the sea. Another huge win for the tankies!

China: Diving test was a complete success.

Sub sank.
Chengdu J-20 can’t fly in a light rain without engine flameout.
Their flagship Aircraft carrier is a Russian last century refit.
And, the bulk of their naval “ships” are light ocean craft with water cannons and small arms.
When did modernization start? Anyone know?

Promoted to corral reef…

Technically the issue isn’t that it sank. Subs are supposed to do that.
The real issue is that it won’t ever resurface 😉

You see, enemies cant touch sub if sub is deep in the ocean

A submarine that sinks? Task failed successfully.

Technically, it did what all subs are supposed to do. It just failed at the re-floating part. Great job, China. You’re halfway there.

As a US Submariner I can tell you we made fun of their submarines all the time LMAO

This is just a thought. I’m no military expert and I don’t want to tell any nation how to run itself, but if your subs are sinking on their own when you’re not at war, maybe think long and hard before deciding to invade Taiwan.

And the topper… It was in dock at the time! 🤦
How many times do I have to say, no screen doors!
Aren’t they supposed to sink?
Oh, you mean not like that?
Whoops.
