China ‘Might’ Have Lost A Nuclear Attack Submarine With ‘All Hands Lost’​

While now being denied by Taiwan and most outlets, rumors are still swirling that a Chinese Type 093 Shang-class nuclear submarine is rumored to have suffered a serious accident near the Yellow Sea off Lianyungang, according to a number of social media reports. Many of these reports claim the entire crew is dead.

While now being denied by Taiwan and most outlets, rumors are still swirling that a Chinese Type 093 Shang-class nuclear submarine is rumored to have suffered a serious accident near the Yellow Sea off Lianyungang, according to a number of social media reports. Many of these reports claim the entire crew is dead.

China’s major state-controlled media outlets were silent about the rumor.

Other reports suggest the incident took place closer to the Taiwan Strait, which would be a major combat flashpoint in the event of an invasion of Taiwan.

The Type 093 is the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s (PLAN) most modern attack submarine. The class represents an important element of China’s modernization of its navy. The Type 93’s mission is to defend the country’s limited number of nuclear ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) from threats from hostile navies.

Well, their country and their economy are falling apart so who should think their military is constructed and managed any differently?

You are a sick and twisted human being.
 
Having to leave in that manner doesn't seem to be one of the better options.
If it was at depth, it's very quick, and pretty painless. Shallow, well you have a point, drowning is not my preferred method of dying.

I don't know how painful it would be at depth but I know what it might feel like at about ten to twenty feet after losing a canoe in swift water and being taken down and bounced off a few boulders though.;)

You were thrown overboard.
 
If such news is scary to you, go hide under your bed and suck your thumb until mom coms home. :rolleyes:
Where did I say anything about the news being scary. I was talking about your reaction to 30-some human beings dead at the bottom of the ocean.
 
It's possible that in 50-75 years we might be told that while China might have lost a sub, it was "found" by the US in a Seattle submarine repair yard.
 
I haven't lost my submarine, and I still have both hands. Though I only need one hand to operate my submarine.

And though I didn't have an accident, I did just release a big Yellow Sea out of it, a few minutes ago.

My guess is that US Navy yard would be repairing the screen door that was left open due to global warming as they submerged.
 
Rumors are made of rather ethereal stuff.

You can't put it past the Chinese to put out the rumor to see what our reactions are and observe our clandestine search technologies.

It's all Mad Magazine and Spy vs Spy.

Interesting point there.

About the only thing we can be sure of is that if the rumor is true it wasn't a catastrophic implosion, not deep enough.
 
I'm not seeing any reaction from the listening post class.

That's the department down the hall from the Hidden UFO office...
 
If anyone knows they aren't saying. What I do know is that entire sea bottom is carpeted with hydrophones off the coast of S. Korea and along the Japanese island chain so if anything happened it's been recorded.
 
And China knows that too and would have produced a counter-cover story already, implausible as it might be.

That's why I posit that they very well could have produced such a counter-espionage rumor...
 
Time will tell. They don't have very many 93's and they all have to make port at sometime. What the hydrophones don't tell the satellites will.
