Why is it that only commie countries have these shipyard disasters/fires?

Why can chink subs be heard across the ocean generating more noise than cruise ships?

Why are chinks unable to innovate submarine reactor technology past anything greater than 2nd gen soviet reactor technology in the 2020s??

Why are chink submarines a near 1:1 copy of soviet delta class?

This isn't even paper tiger anymore but actual tofu dreg navy.

>US Submarine out of commission for five years
They're calling it the American Kuznetsov.

It's a submarine, it's meant to sink!

Old news but there is nothing easy about being a military superpower. It's harder than agricultural self sufficiency or establishing world class healthcare. It's a very White undertaking. You have to be careful and conscientious and then know when and how to use them both politically and technically. Changs are not there yet, and they invented gun powder. Flips however, unreal sailors.

China has been launching more subs every year than all countries in the world combined

>>512237944
I wonder how many they've lost and not told anyone.

>>512238013
See:>>512237581
The US loses subs all the time and rarely tells anyone.

>>512237924
all the things you could do wrong in this situation. stay calm; the door will open once submerged. alternatively, he should have opened/ shattered the windows or sunroof first.

what was he saying into the phone? any lip readers that speak cantonese?

>>512237924
Is this the Chinese adaptation of The Office?
I DLOVE MY CAL INTO THE FUCKING LAKE!

>US discloses that we hit something 4 years ago
>see America loses subs all the time
I know we have lost subs in the past, just like every other country who has submarines. Yet, we have not had one disclosure by China on what they lost. The only reason we know this one sunk was because it was still at the shipyard we recon. You are retarded.

>>512237440 (OP)
holy shit dude they pumped your brain with crap

>>512237944
Actually they are terrible sailors. My ancestors were Vikings, not pullng some ox around a rice paddy. Sure can lick balls tho.

>>512238366
We do not "lose subs". Changs thinks they have they best when they steal our stuff but look at the Russians. They did not expect HIMARS or that insane British anti-tank missile. GPS guided artillery? No.. We always have something you have not seen yet, for every kind of warfare. Then you get fucks and you're saying "I don't know about that, what the hell happened?" as your tank takes a direct howitzer hit from 16 miles away. Tough break chang.

>>512239335
That anon is retarded. He confuses a bump into it being sunk.
However, we have lost subs on accident before in the past but disclose it. Majority of Chinese subs are diesel too. If they did get sunk, they wouldn't technically be required to disclose it publicly unlike a nuclear. Not that it matters anyways because they wouldn't disclose it.

>>512239335
It's dangerous to believe this as an axiom but it has recently proven to be broadly accurate. There is a fuck ton of glow in the dark skunkworks shit just waiting to be used. Decades ago, we reached a point of technological superiority in certain domains that was decades beyond anyone else in the world. We didn't just stop there and wait for everyone else to catch up.

When everyone in the world recognizes you as the strongest, most advanced military force on the planet, the value of signaling further strength becomes counterproductive. It presents a face and a vulnerability for others to see and potentially mimic. It follows that for as long as we are the strongest, we're going to keep a lot of special sauce in our pocket instead of hanging out on the table.

Incidentally, all of this is a big part of why so many people cringed at trump's meme birthday parade. Parades are a very specific kind of message. They have no direct relationship with military capability BUT because humans are suggestible... by focusing on that strategically irrelevant image and optimizing for coherence of image over integrity of structure, yes, it can have a kind of subliminal impact. The problem with this is that, unlike e.g. China, we optimize for substance. Substance and image live in different domains and optimizing for one does not imply the other is optimized in and of itself. We've just never been good at the image thing. Not really.

Trump's parade made us look weaker than we are and for fucking nothing -- eventually necessitating potentially a defense of a vulnerability that doesn't exist by unnecessary unveiling of capability or even by direct kinetic defense.

Not sure why I'm writing this at this point but if you can take anything away from this, the most important part is probably the infinitely banal but ultimately perennially relevant observation that our commander in chief is, to use the words of Rex Tillerson, a total fucking moron.

China didnt invent gunpowder they discovered the saltpetre reaction while making a guano milkshake immortality potion. Then 800 years later they /maybe/ refined it into gunpowder that was mildly usuable but real "corned" gunpowder was invented in germany

Glug, gargle glack
As far as I can make out

Take out the headrest and smash the window out with the pointed prongs.

Because they haven't managed to find something newer to copy.

>>512237581
Isn't the Seawolf class super outdated and borderline obsolete?

>>512238600
lol that’s what i immediately thought of where Michael just drives right into the lake. Dwight is like “I have trained for this” lol this guy clearly did not.

>US officials said
Same ones that were talking about beating the Houthis while their planes were falling into the water

He called Sum Ting Wong

>>512245458
More advanced than the vast majority of submarines in the world and the second most advanced model in the us inventory.

The officer forgot to close a hatch but the ensign was too afraid to point out the officer's mistake, so the submarine sank. Glorious communism on full display.

>>512245601
So I heard you guys get paid 80 cents per shitpost these days. Is that true? That's 60% raise if it is. Very nice.

>>512245601
same one who say Russia is a ghetto slump and China will collapse in 2 more week unironically for a century, yes.

>>512240259
I liked the army's birthday parade. It was kino and for history nerds. It wasnt about showing off might. It was to show the history of the army. I liked seeing the ww1 era tanks and the vietnam era helicopters. If he did a parade to show might like russia or NK does, people would've freaked out here and said Trump is a fascist dictator.
