According to Brit intelligence, We Are The Mighty alleges the Chinese lost one of their subs in one of their own anti-sub traps.<\/p>\n

The \u201cchain and anchor\u201d is a device intended to trap and destroy enemy vessels under the sea. The idea is simple: a heavy chain of metal balls and other objects (that can be up to several miles long) is attached to two anchors deployed on the seafloor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The size and weight of the chain can cause heavy damage to a vessel\u2019s rudder and propeller, delaying the submarine for hours or even days, which as we can see from the PLA Navy\u2019s alleged incident, can be deadly for the ship and its crew. The submarine may even be dragged to the seafloor with the trap.<\/p>\n

The document from British intelligence believes this particular trap was intended to ensnare American or British spy submarines operating off the Chinese coast. Shandong is a Province home to many cities with populations above 9 million, roughly the size of New York City. Qingdao, with a population of 10 million, is the largest city in the province.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Since the report is based on intelligence, the United Kingdom has declined to comment on the veracity of the reports, while Beijing maintains the incident is a rumor. If the submarine really did run into its own chain and anchor trap, and its batteries were low, then it’s likely the air purifiers and air treatment systems would eventually fail.<\/p>\n

The article says 55 Chinese sailors aboard the Chinese sub designated 093-417\u00a0 died after a \u201ccatastrophic\u201d failure of the vessel\u2019s oxygen systems on August 21, 2023.<\/p>\n

I’m all for potential enemies having problems, but schadenfreude aside that is a very bad way to go and I wouldn’t wish it, or burning to death, on anyone. Condolences to their families.<\/p>\n
