China’s newest nuclear submarine sank in dock, US officials confirm https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/26/china-nuclear-submarine-sinks
DukeOfZork on September 27, 2024 3:24 am The Chinese build subs in Wuhan? That’s almost 700km from the coast. It would be like the US building subs in St. Louis.
Lem0n_Lem0n on September 27, 2024 3:35 am Wait.. I thought that’s what a submarine was supposed to do..
lannisterloan on September 27, 2024 3:36 am Well? It sinks. That’s how submarine works ain’t it? – the contractor.
Guilty-Top-7 on September 27, 2024 3:50 am It could just be a Ballast tank/s failure, or someone opened up the wrong valve.
XRT28 on September 27, 2024 3:56 am Certainly an embarrassment but if you’re gonna sink somewhere the dock itself is probably about the best place possible to aid recovery
octahexxer on September 27, 2024 3:59 am Imagine being the crew to be told to get into it after its recovered…it will be fiiiiine
OptimusSublime on September 27, 2024 4:15 am That’s the last time China asks Poland for submarine advice.
AgitatedMagazine4406 on September 27, 2024 4:17 am I mean it’s not like that has ever happened in the US Navy, oh wait
frozen-sky on September 27, 2024 4:47 am What is the embarrassing part here? The fact it sunk OR that US officials confirmed it. Seems the US knows a lot..

Our thoughts and prayers to Chinese seamen.
They left the toilet seat up.
Screen doors are a bad idea on subs.
