New Chinese Submarine

By Matt Hurley for the TIB Network:

Chinese confirm existence of new sub class.
From the Washington Times:
China's naval buildup has produced a new type of attack submarine that U.S. intelligence did not know was under construction, according to U.S. defense and intelligence officials.

The submarine was spotted several weeks ago for the first time and has been designated by the Pentagon as the first Yuan-class of submarine.

Matt's Chat

SOunds as if China is planning to counter our carriers with submarines. Now some analysts are worried about this, but I have full faith in our submarines and the men who command and man them. I am of the opinion that so long as our carrier groups have subs to counter, we will still prevail.

Sure is making the latest manuevers seem a bit ominous though...

Mark's Remarks

I wonder if the Chinese used some of that "nonmilitary" technology that Bill Clinton gave them....thanks Mr. Illegal Campaign Contribution for Technology President!
