Something to be worried about or nah?

A Chinese Navy warship has seized an underwater drone deployed by an American oceanographic vessel in international waters in the South China Sea, triggering a formal diplomatic protest from the United States and a demand for its return, a U.S. defense official told Reuters on Friday.
The incident, the first of its kind in recent memory, took place on Dec. 15 northwest of Subic Bay off the Philippines just as the USNS Bowditch, an oceanographic survey ship, was about to retrieve the unmanned, underwater vehicle (UUV), the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Its a shame there isnt a built in explosive charge to destruct it if captured.

They don't keep track of these things formally?

Was it in international waters?
If so, then we have cause to complain about this.

I wonder if it had a MAGA bumper sticker on it.
