A few days ago, the U.S. Navy released the accident investigation report of the SSN22 Connecticut attack nuclear submarine in the South China Sea, and the Connecticut nuclear submarine belonging to the Seawolf class suddenly crashed into the submarine mountains on October 2, 2021, and finally had to return to the United States by surfacing, the scene was once very embarrassing, because the U.S. Navy was on a secret mission, but after it surfaced, it exposed the secrets of the U.S. nuclear submarine, especially in the Waters of the South China Sea. The U.S. Navy claimed that the Connecticut was grounded by human error and ignored the terrain of unfamiliar waters. U.S. Navy nuclear submarines operate not only in the South China Sea, but also in the rest of the waters, including into the Indian Ocean.
Now from the Strait of Malacca bad news, a large container ship called Marco Polo 188 on May 26 there was a tilt accident, with the cargo ship into the water, there have been many containers began to drift in the strait, due to the different goods transferred, it is likely to cause the container to maintain a certain depth, so for the navigation of the Strait of Malacca caused a huge risk, for the drift of containers, the US Navy nuclear submarines have to weigh it again, because if it is secretly passed through the Strait of Malacca, It is very likely that the container will hit, resulting in a serious accident. In order to remain hidden, the U.S. Navy's nuclear submarines will not turn on active sonar devices, and U.S. self-confidence has led to serious accidents many times.
The U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet once had two Aegis guided-missile destroyers and merchant ships collide a year, directly resulting in the deaths of 18 people in the U.S. Navy, one of which was in the Strait of Malacca. The United States is currently the only superpower, has long been deployed around the world a large number of military forces, including surface ships and submarines, according to the Global Defense Watch information, the U.S. Navy nuclear submarines in the Asia-Pacific region is based on the Apra Naval Base in Guam for deployment, Guam not only has a naval base, but also Anderson Air Force Base, which is the largest military facility of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, can deploy a large number of bombers, The U.S. Air Force regularly conducts dynamic deployments of strategic nuclear bombing through Anderson Air Force Base on Guam.
Today, the accident of the Marco Polo 188 large container ship in the Strait of Malacca is a wake-up call for the U.S. Navy, and if there are still nuclear submarines secretly crossing the strait, there will be great risks. 202205343 / Global Defense Observation / Ali, the U.S. Navy nuclear submarines in order to establish deterrence, often in various sea areas of activity, in fact, submarine navigation is not arbitrary, because it needs to be carried out according to the chart, before the submarine to carry out the mission, there has been a lot of intelligence support, submarines can not enter unfamiliar waters, because there may be accidents that crash into the submarine mountains, for this reason the U.S. Navy has a large number of spy ships in the collection of intelligence, including the use of audio measurement ships and so on in the South China Sea peeping.
So far, it is not clear the specific reason for the tilting of the Marco Polo 188 container ship into the water, this time the container ship accident in the Strait of Malacca, once again sounded the alarm bell for the sea, because the sea area is in the strait, will have a certain impact on the navigation of the ship, although it will not block the Strait of Malacca, but will also let the rest of the ships go around. The Strait of Malacca is very important, and the U.S. Navy has deployed two littoral combat ships in Singapore, one of which is to deter the Strait of Malacca, but the U.S. Navy did not expect that merchant ships would nearly sink in the Strait of Malacca.
