Doesn't anyone remember the past? Didn't a chinese jet collide with a P3 a few years back? My memory is about as bad as anyone, but when you think the chinese won't sacrafice a few of their own, you are thinking like an American (someone who values life). It wasn't too long ago that china sent waves of sub-humans (chinese) in assaults against interlocking fields of fire and lost tens of thousands. china is a beast that Americans can't understand too easily. A china threat seminar could really help start.

I would be VERY interested in reading what YOU have to say, in the way of explaining how two high tech vessils managed to attempt being in the same "space" at the same time. Really, I would! Entertain me please.

I have to believe a lot of electronic eavesdropping was done on the part of the US in recording sound signatures of the chinese submarine.

I know. The American Military could 'accidentally' bomb a Chinese embassy. Oh, wait…

I sincerely think the Belgrade bombing was an accident. My only teacher for how naval sonar works was Tom Clancy, so I can't say about the current event, but accidents do happen.

wikipedia links to reports that the Belgrade bombing was deliberate so that one hasn't been settled yet:

The suggestion that the collision was intentional is ridiculous. Running your submarine into anything is a stupid risk to everyone on board.

Maybe the USN needs to accidentally drop a depth charge next time.

I was amazed that more of the people who stated that the collision was intentional in the poll didn't comment here. I was really looking forward to hearing some of their comments which I'm sure would be hilarious.

Intentional or not, I don't think we need to start harassing the Chinese. As the article pointed out, the sub risked being sunk by maneuvering so close to the array. A few years ago a Chinese hotdogger sent himself to a watery grave after tailing a US naval pilot too closely.
