I don't know if you remember one thing, that is, in 2021, a U.S. Navy nuclear submarine hit an unknown object in the South China Sea, called the "10.2 U.S. nuclear submarine collision incident", and the ship is still lying in the ICU, and it is expected to complete repairs in 2025. After the incident, the US investigation of the incident was also confusing and secretive. But just recently, the first submarine-themed promotional video was released in China, which was made public for the first time, and the domestic submarine had a time mission 2 years ago, which also gave us a glimpse of the unknown stormy waves two years ago.
coincides with the arrival of the 4.23 Navy Day, and today the Navy's first submarine-themed promotional video was also released, which lasted for more than 7 minutes, and it is recommended that you can watch the original film. In addition to reflecting the hard work of submarine commanders and fighters in combat readiness, it also mentions a specific matter. That is what was revealed in the theme film, 2 years ago, a certain actual combat mission. Of course, the details of the mission cannot be detailed for some reason, but from its subtitles, you can feel the tension overflowing the screen, and the subtitle prompt is "The current situation is severe, the higher authorities ordered us, and we should go to the expedition immediately".
And the most critical information in this is this 2 years ago, and generally this kind of information will try to blur the time, so as not to connect it with some things. And this time not only is there no blurred time, but it is exactly marked 2 years ago, and I feel that I am worried that you will not be able to think of it, and I will tell you clearly. You must know that this promotional video was filmed in 2023, so 2 years ago it happened to be 2021. It can only be said that if you are strong, you are so confident, so I will call your name directly.
According to the information released by the US side, on October 2, 2021, the USS Connecticut nuclear-powered submarine collided with an unknown object while diving in international waters in the Asia-Pacific region, causing the submarine to jolt and the crew on the submarine to suffer abrasions, but there were no serious injuries, and the nuclear power plant of the submarine was not affected. At first glance, it seems like a trivial matter, right? However, on October 22, 2021, the "War Zone" column of the American website "TheDrive" published an article that disclosed for the first time the satellite photos of the USS Connecticut nuclear submarine after the collision incident. In the picture, the bow of the submarine was almost completely destroyed, and the internal structure was damaged, barely covered with blue cloth. It's a complete crash, and the repairs after the incident proved it.
The submarine was completely unrepairable on Guam, and then it took two months and 6,000 miles to return to San Diego, USA, and then to Bremerton Naval Base for repairs. However, due to the squeeze on the shipyard schedule, the ship's maintenance was delayed until 2025, and it is now in a state of repair, which is almost equivalent to four years of scrapping. This is obviously not something that can be explained by the minor injuries in the mouth of the United States.
On November 2, 2021, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin once again urged the US side to elaborate on the circumstances of the accident and fully respond to the concerns and concerns of regional countries. The whole world is very concerned about what US submarines are doing in the South China Sea, but the United States has kept silent, and it seems that this time it has lifted the tip of the iceberg. At this time, some military fans may ask, so was the US submarine damaged in actual combat? Judging from the pictures, the damaged position was indeed caused by the impact. Then it is very likely that the two sides are fighting, and the US submarine is trying to avoid something, or it is careless in its own operation, which causes it to hit something. After all, the sinister purpose of the United States in driving nuclear submarines under our noses has been clearly exposed, and the United States should bear full responsibility for any situation.
Of course, what people didn't expect was that such a thrilling past would be known to everyone in this seemingly bland way, which reminded people of a sentence. It's not that the world is at peace, it's that we're strong. You must know that the submarine commanders and fighters at that time were facing one of the most powerful underwater ships in the world, the No. 2 ship of the Hailang-class, which was able to complete the task excellently and form the final situation, which is undoubtedly a very good result. And what kind of determination to see death as if they were at home, so that they can face a strong enemy without fear, is now sitting in an air-conditioned room, standing in the park sun, it is difficult to imagine.
Overall, the actual combat mission two years ago in this theme film shows the current high degree of self-confidence, and there is no need to worry about the West's perception of many things, especially Blinken's upcoming visit to China on April 24. Doesn't the West like to exert maximum pressure, you can use it, I can use it, there are too many things that the United States can't see. Now is no longer the time when a few words from the West and a few strong ships and cannons can intimidate at will. Not only do we have more steel and more gas, but also our belief in defending our homeland and defending our country is incomparable to that of the West, and the US submarines are just carrying out tasks and mixing salaries, how dare they fight with us, and they are already lucky that they did not sink when they escaped.
