U.S. Submarine Hits Underwater Object In The South China Sea

(CNN)A US nuclear powered submarine struck an object underwater in the South China Sea on Saturday, according to two defense officials.
A number of sailors on board the USS Connecticut were injured in the accident, the officials said. None of the injuries were life-threatening, according to a statement from US Pacific Fleet. It's unclear what the Seawolf-class submarine may have hit while it was submerged.
"The submarine remains in a safe and stable condition. USS Connecticut's nuclear propulsion plant and spaces were not affected and remain fully operational," the statement said. "The incident will be investigated." The US Navy did not specify the incident took place in the South China Sea, only that it occurred in international waters in the Indo-Pacific region.
The accident happened as tensions between the US and China soared over the Chinese military's incursions into Taiwan's Air Defense Integration Zone (ADIZ).

Underwater “object”
Another “Chinese fishing boat”?

First guess is China has been plotting the sea floor and possible submarine routes in the region and have started deploying obstacles.

Does this military seem like they aren’t all there? Seems like gross negligence, everywhere

Surface ships have navigation problems because they changed up the training and rotations to where the kids don’t know how to fricking sail.
Less sure about the subs. Can’t really steer by sight on one of those.

This isn't too unexpected for crowding a small area of the world with 9,000 troops and submarines.
When we blockaded Cuba in 1962, we were a few bad decisions away from provoking a Soviet cruiser from firing on us.

Subs don’t ‘run into stuff underwater’ but we’ll never know what really happened
