The Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy has been beefing up their intimidation game in recent days. Last month in waters near Japan, a Chinese submarine stalked the carrier USS Ronald Reagan, marking the first time since 2006 a PLAN sub came within such close distance to an American carrier. Defense officials claim that the Chinese sub managed to sail very close as the carrier sailed from its homeport to the Seas of Japan around the Northern Portion of China.
This isn’t the first time the Chinese military has tried to intimidate (if that’s what they were trying to do) an American vessel. Less than a month ago, there was another dispute in the South China Sea, when another American vessel, the USS Lassen, sailed through international waters that China claims belongs to them.
China responded by launching a military exercise from a manmade airstrip in an attempt at intimidation. The incident between the Reagan and the Chinese was only the first scare to happen that week.

Out to sea maybe a little cht dump or some p3 action…
I think fear is the name of this game..
Nothing to panic about. Our 688 or Seawolf class are tracking them. Most Chinese subs are Soviet left over from the 60,s &70,s. Obviously if we are aware of them,we see them.
There were only 3 Seawolf Class Attack Submarines. After them came the Virginia Class Submarines. Before both, the Navy had Los Angeles Class Submarines. All are Attack Submarines, basically Hunter / Killer’s. Every Carrier Battle Group has one in the group.
It would be so funny to capture that sub and drag them back to their island.
SINK THE SUB
sink it…,,,sorry we thought it was ISIS terrorist…..
Send one of our nuclear armed subs to follow their tin can subs around. Problem solved.
No match for Western subs,don’t expect the Oz Collins class to be any good against them because they were finger printed during building,bloody useless pieces of junk!.
We do the same to them
