The USS Kittyhawk, a 1000ft "supercarrier", protected by the physical presence of a dozen warships not to mention all the electronic gizmos supposedly making this carrier group totally invincible to attack..............well at least thats what the US would have us believe.........
the reality is somewhat different, during a full military excercise (therefore full alert for threats) a chinese diesel/electric sub wanders into the middle of the fleet and surfaces, well within range of launching a missile or torpedo attack, UNDETECTED !
It seems the US had no idea that chinas growing submarine fleet had reached such a level of sophistication, a NATO source has said this has caused a major rethink amongst the US navy top brass about their ability to deal with threats.
If this wasnt so serious it would be laughable, complaceny in the extreme, assuming (yet again) that its american, its the biggest and therefore the best..........when the reality suggests its just a big TARGET!
The bully should beware, he is not invincible and one day this will be exploited and he'll be firmly slapped down into place. I imagine a few countries are laughing up their sleeves at hearing this............who can blame them ?
