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.

Depth charges anyone?
Don’t worry it is being stalked as well
So what? Sub’s track other vessels, that’s part of the job!
As long as they know they are there we have no problems.
This is the long and short of it…glad I’m not the only one who sees it.
While the world is following charlie sheen and Paris this too is happening BTW the yaun enters the SDR this month. Its all about the economy stupid
Shark tastes good when properly cooked…
Carriers never travel alone. And Any U.S. Carrier has enough firepower to take out a few Chink Subs…….
And our Hunter subs are following them!
Just another distraction from the lame stream media to divert ones attention from the real issues. We do the same thing to them…not an issue.
