Faced with the underwater mountain in the South China Sea Atomic submarine (APL) Connecticut of the SeaWolf project could get critical injuries that do not allow its restoration, writes “Military Industrial Courier” (MPC).
The Russian weekly newspaper assures that, according to the results of what happened, there are “disappointing pentagon conclusions.”
In particular, the publication doubts the possibility of this submarine “to see and hear the surrounding environment”. “PUGET SOUND PUGET SOUND repair docks makes it impossible to think about the impossibility of its recovery, since this shipyard is the only one in the USA, which has a certificate for the disposal of the submarine,” writes MPK.
In October The Drive, referring to the veteran-submariner US Navy Aaron Amik, wrote that the topography of the bottom of the South China Sea, in the depths of which the submarine Connecticut collided with the object, due to tectonic activity is subject to frequent changes.
In the same month, the former commander of the atomic underwater cruiser captain of the first rank Igor Kurdin, commenting on the possible circumstances of the recent collision of the US submarines with the object, said that at a safe depth of 45 meters, a submarine could not meet with any simple ship or a vessel, including tanker.
