USS Connecticut Incident
Posted: 08 Oct 2021 15:04
The following link is an update on the reported collision that the USS Connecticut (SSN22) has had with an as of yet, unidentified submerged object.
This apparently occurred whilst she was operating in the South China Sea. The fact that the US has chosen to release this information is highly unusual, and makes me wonder if they are pre-empting the release of further information, possibly from another Navy. Especially since this Boat is a highly secretive Sea Wolf Class vessel.
As we are currently witnessing, there is a huge gathering of Naval power in this region at the moment, and there will be, without doubt, lots of intelligence gathering activities being carried out by other Nations in the region.
Let's hope it was just a lump of Mother Earth she hit, and that no life has been lost.
