fake news

doesnt mention anything about deployment

 

[GumNaam]

Yeah, no.

you really need to stop getting mesmerized by the west.

This is not Siasat dot pk. Your claim is unsubstantiated. How about you study technologies involved in these matters and then comment on the topic?

Did Chinese broke this news and admitted attack on the Seawolf class submarine? NO.

They would have if that was true because this could be substantial propaganda coup for the Chinese. The Americans would have been in 'panic mode' instead.

It is a mistake to assume inferiority of one camp based on anecdotes.

Given the sophistication of US subs …there is no way it hit a geographical feature under the sea… and if you consider the recent call between Biden and Xi to respect the Taiwan act - this sounds like a military incident with a USA submarine getting rammed as a warning shot across the bows over Taiwan….

Nothing is impossible in this world ... USA trying to gather some dumb and fool nations along her side as it is in their DNA, they could not fight alone and make other countries the cannon fodder.
Here the USA forgot that this time the opponent is not a weak one. On the other hand, UK thinks the same outcome as WWII; they should remember at that time the only nuclear power was USA and they used the weapon against the non-nuclear country because the butcher Harry Truman (RIH) knows that he could use that opportunity. Now the nuclear weapon is not limited and retaliation will not be a problem.

That is impossible scenario/case, China does not have balls to go closer to US navy.

IMO if China could spank the SUPAPOWA in 62 & Galwan, USA will not be a problem for them.

Seawolf-class noise is 90-100 decibels.
The noise of a 10 horsepower tractor is usually 75 decibels.

Yes sure when you stand as close as to the sub as the tractor you can say the sub makes more noise.
However there are some factors: one, you never have the chance to stand next to a sub.
Two, the sound pressure sinks proportional to the distance, meaning, you hardly hear anything if you are far away.
Three, the ocean noise is about 90dB. If the sub makes 95dB then it’s just 5dB difference.
Chinese subs reportedly make a noise pressure of 120dB.

What the hack is "a noise pressure of 120dB"? Are you sure you know what you are talking about?

It’s acoustic if you attend a physics class. How can you hear a voice? “Schalldruck” in german. When a sub travels in water, it causes a noise, it sends a sound, a acoustic. Many terms same meaning. this sound is a wave in nature, it creates in turn a pressured air which causes human ear drum to swing thus to hear.
The intensity is measured in dB. I use the short abbr. pressured noise dB because I am lazy.

Multiple sailors were injured when a deployed Naval submarine "struck an object" in the Indo-Pacific region.

The vessel, the USS Connecticut, made contact with the object while it was submerged Tuesday, causing several non-life-threatening injuries to the crew onboard. The submarine was operating in the South China Sea, Fox News has learned, and is now on the way to Guam and expected to arrive Thursday, according to the Navy.

Navy officials could not confirm what type of object the vessel came in contact with, though one official, who spoke to the Navy Times and requested anonymity, said the area's topography did not indicate a landmass in the boat's path.

Officials: 11 sailors injured after USS Connecticut submarine ‘struck an object’ underwater earlier this month

While details remain murky, no crewmembers suffered life-threatening injuries and the boat is slated to arrive in Guam today.

And China complaining about the delay in publish the report about the incident:

[BHAN85]

US must publish details of nuclear submarine incident — Chinese Foreign Ministry
Spokesman Zhao Lijian noted that this incident is particularly important amid the establishment the AUKUS partnership, which includes provision of nuclear submarine technologies from the US to Australia

[Goenitz]

I assume something else has happened (not like red october) and the US has said it otherwise..
I guess, they were laying some equipment to monitor vessels movements or installing device on internet cables, and some incident happened..

Where do you get this "a noise pressure of 120dB" from?

One word China. By using Taiwan as a conduit in the South China Sea, the United States is building pressure on China. The only way for the China to restrain US aggressive behaviour in South China is to use OBJECT. China has to be alarmed by the realization that Indian forces will now be deployed at the LAC instead of at the Line of Control. In order to maintain the balance of the region, it is imperative that Pakistan makes sure that this pressure is maintained on the Indian side as well. China's mouthpiece, the Global Times, just published an article, saying that the world is preparing for a Third World War and that it will start somewhere in South China. There is building pressure against China from the LAC region and South China, while carrots for Pakistan are being offered by the recent visit of the US secretary of state. In such a big elephant fight like this one this is a really difficult exam for a country like us.

The upcoming days will not bring anything good for us in terms of what will happen in the near future.

The SC seas is probably fu

I read it from open source.
chinese subs have the same quality like chinese cars: low quality, bad design.

Please provide official source, or you are just lying through teeth.

 

[KAL-EL]

One word China.

One word.. assumption

 

[Viet]

Please provide official source, or you are just lying through teeth.

You are funny. What official source? All subs acoustic signatures are secret and classified. just a guessing game.
Even this chart drawn by US scientists more a decade ago also a guess
But ok you are welcome to ask Ccp to give us the information
