China’s supersonic submarine, which could go from Shanghai to San Francisco in 100 minutes, creeps ever closer to reality

Chinese submarines
Researchers in China are reporting that they’ve taken a big step towards creating a supersonic submarine. This technology, which could just as easily be applied to weaponized torpedoes as military or civilian submarines, could theoretically get from Shanghai to San Francisco — about 6,000 miles — in just 100 minutes. If all this doesn’t sound crazy enough, get this: This new advance by the Chinese is based on supercavitation, which was originally developed by the Soviets in the ’60s, during the Cold War.

As you may already know, it’s a lot harder for an object to move quickly through water than air. This is mostly due to increased drag. Without getting into the complexities of fluid dynamics, water is simply much thicker and more viscous than air — and as a result it requires a lot more energy for an object to push through it. You can experience the increased drag of water yourself next time you’re in a swimming pool: Raise your hand above your head, and then let it fall towards the water. (Or alternatively, if there are people sunbathing nearby, do a belly flop.)

Anyway, much like a small-engined car is ultimately limited by its ability to cut through wind resistance (drag), a submarine or torpedo needs insane amounts of power to achieve high velocity through water. This is why, even in 2014, most submarines and torpedoes can’t go much faster than 40 knots (~46 mph). Higher speeds are possible, but it requires so much power that it’s not really feasible (torpedoes only have so much fuel).

How a normal torpedo works, vs. a supercavitation torpedo
Enter supercavitation, a technique devised by the Soviets in 1960 with the explicit purpose of creating high-speed torpedoes. Supercavitation gets around the drag of water by creating a bubble of gas for the object to travel through. The USSR’s research resulted in the Shkval torpedo, which uses a special nose cone to create the supercavitation envelope, allowing it to travel through the water at speeds of up to 200 knots (~230 mph, 370 kph) — much, much faster than the standard torpedoes fielded by the US.

The only other countries with supercavitational weapons are Iran (which probably reverse-engineered a Russian Shkval), and Germany with its fantastically named Superkavitierender Unterwasserlaufkörper (“supercavitating underwater running body”). The US is researching its own supercavitational torpedo, but there’s very little public information available.

Supercavitational torpedo diagram

Which brings us neatly onto China. Unlike previous approaches, which have to be launched at high speed (~60 mph) to create the initial supercavitation bubble, the method described by the Harbin Institute of Technology in China uses a “special liquid membrane” that reduces friction at low speeds. This liquid is constantly showered over the object to replenish the membrane as it’s worn off by the water. Once the torpedo/submarine/vessel gets up to speed, it sounds like it uses the same gas-through-nose-cone technique to achieve supercavitation. (Details are a bit vague at this point.)

Read our featured story: The science of beam weapons

In theory, supercavitation could allow for speeds up to the speed of sound — which, underwater, is a heady 1,482 meters per second, or 3,320 mph. At that speed, you could go from Shanghai to San Francisco (about 6,000 miles) in well under two hours. Suffice it to say that there isn’t a country in the world that wouldn’t love to have a submarine that can circumnavigate the world in half a day — especially a country with nuclear missiles, like China, Russia, France, the UK, or the US.

In practice, though, it’s a) very difficult to steer a supercavitating vessel (conventional methods, such as a rudder, won’t work without water contact) — and b) developing an underwater engine that’s capable of high velocity over long distances is very, very difficult. You can’t use a jet engine underwater, sadly — and generally, rockets only have enough fuel for a few minutes, not hours. Nuclear power might be a possibility as far as supersonic submarines go, but that’s just a guess.

Michael Phelps, wearing and outlawed Speedo LZR swimsuit
Low-drag full-body swimsuits, like the Speedo LZR worn by Michael Phelps, have since been banned for being too good.
Li Fengchen, a professor at the Harbin Institute, says their technology isn’t limited to military use. Yes, supersonic submarines and torpedoes are top of the list — but the same tech could also boost civilian transport, or even boost the speed of swimmers. “If a swimsuit can create and hold many tiny bubbles in water, it can significantly reduce the water drag; swimming in water could be as effortless as flying in the sky,” says Li.

As always with such advanced (and potentially weaponized) technology, it’s hard to say how far away it is from real-world use. If civilian researchers are making good progress, then it’s a fairly safe bet that the military is even further along. Wang Guoyu, another Chinese researcher, told the South China Morning Post: “The primary drive [for supercavitation] still comes from the military, so most research projects are shrouded in secrecy.”

345 MPH Supercavitating Torpedoes — US aircraft carriers now sitting ducks to Russia & China’s torpedoes

Jeff Fenske
1 year ago
It looks like Russia, China, and perhaps others can now easily sink our giant aircraft carriers, which are now sitting ducks! Also see:

Russia and China’s SS-N-22 Sunburn missile: U.S. aircraft carrier and Aegis-class cruiser killer! — SS-N-22 skims the surface of the water at 2.5x the speed of sound until just before impact, when it lifts up and then heads straight down into the target’s deck. Its 200 kiloton nuclear warhead has almost 20 times the explosive power of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima. The U.S. Navy has no defence against this missile system

For decades, the USA owning the seas has been a myth, because of Russia, and now China too. China already has many state-of-the-art subs, and they’re estimated to surpass our above-water capability soon.

Those 345 MPH Supercavitating Torpedoes: Did You Know?
UPDATE: July-10-2008

The Peoples Republic of China reportedly bought 40 Shkval rocket torpedoes from Kazakhstan [71] in 1998. An improved version of the Shkval may be capable of a 300 knots speed (345 mph). France, the U.S., and Germany have also undertaken supercavitating torpedo development.

With a range of at least 3 to 4 miles, Shkval torpedoes reduce reaction times to travel that distance from 3 minutes to perhaps 40 seconds.

2.1 FOREIGN HELP FOR HI-TECH WEAPONS

Russian Assistance for Supercavitating Underwater Weapons

Supercavitating underwater weapons move through water at very high velocities, at speeds up to greater than sound. They are able to do so because they form an air bubble, or cavitation, around the structure. Once launched, there is little defense against such high-speed underwater weapons. They are envisioned for use as torpedoes, anti-torpedoes, anti-mine or as missiles that travel underwater and then air-launch near the shore to defeat anti-missile defenses.[69] Russia is a leader in supercavitation technology and in 1977 fielded the Shkval (Squal) rocket torpedo, which can achieve speeds up to 200kts, or 100 meters per second (230 mph) through water. An advanced version of the Shkval is reportedly capable of 300kts speed.[70] This version reportedly was being tested on the Russian Oscar-class SSGN Kusk that sank in August 2000. The U.S., France and Germany also have supercavitating weapons research programs.

In August 1998 the PRC was reported to have purchased 40 Shkval rocket torpedoes from Kazakhstan.[71] This could indicate that the PLA also has programs underway to develop supercavitating underwater weapons. A Taiwanese source notes that the PLA has used these weapons to aid the development of its own supercavitating weapons, which may be in testing.[72] Developing such weapons would be consistent with the PLA’s efforts to adopt new technologies and to build weapons that exploit the weaknesses of the U.S. U.S. sources reportedly have confirmed that a PLA Navy Officer perished on the Kurskwhen it sank.[73] There is speculation that he was there to observe the testing of a new version of the Shkval.

The U.S. Navy is Moving at Warp Speed to Develop Super Lasers
Laser weapons will be developed through a three-phased approach in order to fire the weapon from destroyers at cruise missiles, drones, aircraft and small boats.

The U.S. Navy is moving at warp speed to develop lasers with more lethality, precision and power sources as a way to destroy attacking missiles, drones aircraft and other threats.

“We’re doing a lot more with lasers," Rear Adm. Ronald Boxall, director, Surface Warfare Division, said earlier this month at the annual Surface Naval Association national symposium.

The Navy plans to fire a 150-kw weapon off a test ship within a year, he said. “Then a year later, we’ll have that on a carrier or a destroyer or both.”

That’s quite a jump from the kw AN/SEQ-3(XN-1) Laser Weapon System (LaWS), which deployed in 2014 on the amphibious transport dock USS Ponce.

And the kind of power needed to power such a weapon won’t come with a simple flip of a switch.

“The Navy will be looking at ships’ servers to provide three times that much power,” says Donald Klick, director of business development, for DRS Power and Control Technologies. “To be putting out 150 kws, they (the laser systems) will be consuming 450 kws.”

That is more than most currently operational ships are designed to accommodate, at least when they are conducting other tasks. “Few power systems onboard ships can support sustained usage of a high-powered laser without additional energy storage,” noted a recent Naval Postgraduate School paper titled “Power Systems and Energy Storage Modeling for Directed Energy Weapons”.

The paper said, “The new DDG-1000 may have enough electrical energy, but other platforms … may require some type of ‘energy magazine.’ This magazine stores energy for on-demand usage by the laser. It can be made up of batteries, capacitors, or flywheels, and would recharge between laser pulses. The energy magazine should allow for sustained usage against a swarm of targets in an engagement lasting up to twenty minutes.
The DDG 1000 is built with what’s called a total ship computing environment, meaning software and blade servers manage not just the weapons systems on the ship but also handle the radar and fire control software and various logistical items such as water, fuel, oil and power for the ship, industry officials said.

The ship’s integrated power system, which includes its electric propulsion, helps generate up to 78 megawatts of on-board electrical power, something seen as key to the future when it comes to ship technologies and the application of anticipated future weapons systems such as laser weapons and rail guns. The ship’s electric drive uses two main turbine generations with two auxiliary turbine generators which power up two 35-megawatt advanced induction motors, developers explained.

Ideally, it would charge up as fast as it discharges, allowing for indefinite use (as long as there is ship’s fuel to expend). Low maintenance, high safety, and long lifespan are other desirable characteristics.

DRS Power and Control Technologies is one of the companies which is developing a specialized energy source. “We have enough for well over 100 shots before we go to recharge,” DRS’s Klick said during a break at SNA, pointing out there’s even a mode for continuous recharge. “If you’ve got power this kind of power, you don’t go Winchester.”

The DRS system uses a Li-Ion battery subsystem designed and provided by Lithiumstart housed in three distributed steel, welded cabinets that are 48” x 66” x 100” – although they are modular, Klick says, and can be arranged for a tailored fit. Each cabinet contains 18 drawers with 480 Li-Ion phosphate cells in each drawer.

The redundant power modules can provide 465 k each for a total of 930 kw. It can hold that full-power mark for about three minutes, Klick says – although most “lases” are normally of relatively short duration.

An at-sea demonstration of the magazine is slated for 2018, Klick says, mostly with the 150-kw laser being developed by Northrop Grumman for the Office of Naval Research.

The system still must go through rigorous Navy certification testing, Klick says.

He also sees the energy magazine as a candidate for other U.S. military units. “We’re looking at Air Force Special Forces on a C-130. You have to strike a car, but you’re worried about collateral damage. With that pinpoint accuracy, you don’t have to worry about collateral damage. You can just cause a car to stop running. There’s a lot more capability.”

Long-Term Effort

The Navy has already been working with Northrop Grumman on a three-year deal to develop a ship-board laser weapon engineered to quickly incinerate enemy drones, small boats, aircraft, ships and missiles, service officials told Scout Warrior.

"This system employs multi-spectral target detection and track capabilities as well as an advanced off-axis beam director with improved fiber laser technologies to provide extended target engagement ranges. Improvements of high power fiber lasers used to form the laser beam enable the increased power levels and extended range capabilities. Lessons learned, operating procedures, updated hardware and software derived from previous systems will be incorporated in this demonstration," Dr. Tom Beutner, director of the Air Warfare and Weapons branch, Office of Naval Research, told Scout Warrior in a written statement at the time of the contract announcement.

A previously established 12-month, $53-million deal between Northrop and the Office of Naval Research will develop a Laser Weapon System Demonstrator through three phases; the phases include an initial design phase, ground-testing phase and then weapons testing at sea aboard a Navy Self Defense test ship, a Northrop statement said.


“The company will design, produce, integrate, and support the shipboard testing of a 150-kilowatt-class solid state (electric) laser weapon system,” the Northrop statement added. “The contract could grow to a total value of $91 million over 34 months if ONR exercises all of its contract options.”

Office of Naval Research officials told Scout Warrior an aim of the developmental program is to engineer a prototype weapons for further analysis.

“The possibilities can become integrated prototypes -- and the prototypes become reality when they become acquisition programs,” an ONR official said.

It is not yet clear when this weapon might be operational but the intention seems to be to arm surface ships such as destroyers, cruisers and possibly even carriers or an LCS with inexpensive offensive or defensive laser weapons technology.

“It is way too early to determine if this system will ever become operational. Northrop Grumman has been funded to set-up a demo to "demonstrate" the capabilities to senior leadership, who will then determine whether it is an asset worth further funding and turning into a program of record,” a Navy official told Scout Warrior.

Both Navy and Northrop Grumman officials often talk about the cost advantages of firing laser weapons to incinerate incoming enemy attacks or destroy enemy targets without having to expend an interceptor missile worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Navy officials describe this as getting ahead of the cost curve.

"For about the price of a gallon of diesel fuel per shot, we're offering the Navy a high-precision defensive approach that will protect not only its sailors, but also its wallet," said Guy Renard, director and program manager, directed energy, Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems.

As mentioned, the Navy has already deployed one laser system, called the Laser Weapons System, or LaWS, which has been operational for months.

LaWS uses heat energy from lasers to disable or destroy targets fast, slow, stationary and moving targets. The system has successfully incinerated UAVs and other targets in tests shots, and has been operational aboard an amphibious transport dock in the Persian Gulf, the USS Ponce.

The scalable weapon is designed to destroy threats for about $59-cents per shot, an amount that is exponentially lower that the hundreds of thousands or millions needed to fire an interceptor missile such as the Standard Missile-2, Navy officials explained.

While at sea, sailors have been using the LaWS for targeting and training exercises every day and the weapon has even been used to disable and destroy some targets, service officials said.

Navy sailors and engineers have discovered some unanticipated intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance value from the laser weapons system by using its long-range telescope to scan for targets as well, Navy officials said.

Laser weapons are expected to figure prominently in the Navy's future plans in several respects. New Navy platforms such as the high-tech destroyer, the DDG 1000 or USS Zumwalt, is engineered with an electric drive propulsion system and extra on-board electrical power called an Integraed Power System. This system is in part designed to power-up ship electrical systems and accommodate emerging future weapons systems such as lasers and rail guns.

"Laser weapons provide deep magazines, low cost per shot, and precision engagement capabilities with variable effects that range from dazzling to structural defeat against asymmetric threats that are facing the US Naval force," Beutner added.

In addition, laser weapons integrate fully into the Navy's emerging "distributed lethality" strategy aimed at better arming the surface fleet with a wide array of offensive and defensive weapons.

Here’s How The US Navy’s New Laser System Burns Up Its Targets
Pierre Bienaimé Military & Defense Jan. 16, 2015, 11:08 PM



USS Ponce conducts an operational demonstration of the Office of Naval Research-sponsored Laser Weapon System, LaWS, while deployed to the Arabian Gulf.

The Laser Weapon System, or LaWS, is the first weaponized laser on a US warship.

The 100 kilowatt turret was installed aboard the USS Ponce this summer as part of a $40 million R&D project to explore the potential of a weapon system that doesn’t require expensive traditional projectiles.

Missiles, along with the military systems and vehicles they are launched from, come at an exorbitant price.

As the graphic from Stratfor below shows, a single SM-2 missile costs $400,000.

That’s an awful lot of taxpayer money to spend on destroying modest targets like small enemy vessels or drones, which LaWS successfully brought down in tests done in November.

Projectiles used in missile defense are costly. Israel’s Iron Dome rocket defense system, for instance, can reliably shoot down cheap ($750) incoming rockets, but it does so with a $40,000 interceptor of its own.

In contrast, the energy for a single laser shot from the LaWS comes at the much more sensible pricetag of $1.

中國超空泡魚雷，秒殺航母核潛艇
軍情 12-20 8

有消息稱，哈爾濱工業大學在超空泡領域進行的研究，取得了突破性的進展。中國科研人員對研製超音速魚雷所發表的聲明尤其讓人關注，這種魚雷在水下或可達到音速。



中國超空泡魚雷，秒殺航母核潛艇


俄羅斯戰略和技術分析中心專家瓦西里·卡申指出，中國在超空泡領域的繼續研究，表明中方正投入相當多的資源、藉助蘇聯「暴風」魚雷技術研製新的武器系統。超空泡魚雷憑藉逆天的高航速，可以輕易突破特混艦隊的層層攔截，就算是美國航母遇到了恐怕也是在劫難逃。


研究表明，當物體在水中的運動速度超過185千米/小時後，其尾部就會產生大型水蒸氣泡，並在物體表面形成空氣泡，將物體與水接觸的部分包住;於是物體接觸的介質就由水變成了空氣。由於空氣的密度只有水的1/800，這樣一來就能大幅減少物體所受阻力，這就是「超空泡化現象」。在這一理論基礎上，前蘇聯率先研製出VA-111「暴風」超空泡魚雷，並裝備前蘇聯海軍的核潛艇用來攻擊美國的艦船。

前蘇聯研發的VA-111「暴風」超空泡魚雷


據稱，前蘇聯研發的VA-111「暴風」超空泡魚雷，其最高速度可以達到200節(時速370公里)，這個速度是普通魚雷的4倍，是一般艦艇的7倍，甚至比核潛艇還要快上5倍。然而儘管超空泡魚雷，速度快、威力大，但直航無導向、射程短這樣的硬傷，簡直分分鐘就要暴露潛艇的位置。


從現役的各國魚雷來看，一般的533毫米的魚雷射程都在20公里以上，但超空泡魚雷射程要短很多，甚至不到10公里。此外，如此高的速度使其很難採用制導技術，只能採取直航式攻擊手段，要想成功發射可不是那麼容易的。



中國超空泡魚雷，秒殺航母核潛艇


如今，中國在超空泡潛航技術上已經取得了長足發展，目前已經研製出了一款可以在兩個小時穿越太平洋的超空泡潛航器。


前蘇聯的「暴風」超空泡魚雷自誕生之初，就成為美國等西方軍事情報部門關心的焦點。因為它是俄羅斯為數不多的，能夠給美國海軍造成巨大麻煩的武器。在前蘇聯的部分核潛艇裝備這一武器之後，一度曾令美軍核潛艇和航母對蘇軍核潛艇退避三舍。當時美國海軍認為，「美國目前還沒有與『暴風』相當的魚雷，它令人恐懼的速度讓美國海軍艦艇很難做出躲閃、規避動作，而且現在我們好像還沒有方法對『暴風』魚雷進行防禦。」曾有人詢問美海軍司令，航母編隊如何應對這種魚雷?美海軍司令無奈地回答稱：「在魚雷和航母之間放一艘護衛艦將其引爆。」可見，美軍在這種武器面前所表示出的無奈。



中國超空泡魚雷，秒殺航母核潛艇



前蘇聯在發展出「暴風」超空泡魚雷不久就轟然解體了，而承接前蘇聯衣缽的俄羅斯以及其他參與研發過程的一些獨聯體國家，對此幾乎沒有興趣，這導致其基本放棄了對該技術的研發。反倒是中國和伊朗，先後從獨聯體國家引進了這種技術，據稱兩國已經對其完成「國產化」，並分別進行了使用自身技術的超空泡魚雷的試驗發射。


中國超空泡魚雷，秒殺航母核潛艇



超空泡魚雷最難的兩個技術障礙：一是水下方向控制及制導，二是增大射程的技術瓶頸。然而中國科學家尋找到了一種創新性的方法解決這兩大難題。在超空泡魚雷進入水中後，在其表面持續「噴洒」一種特殊的液體薄膜，能顯著地減少航行器在低速時的阻力。這種人造的液體薄膜能夠幫助潛航器轉彎，通過精確控制，可以在航行器的不同部分產生不同的摩擦力，從而實現對其的方向控制。同時，新的技術突破，也有望打破此類武器的航程記錄。



中國超空泡魚雷，秒殺航母核潛艇


如果解決了控制問題，再能使其獲得更遠的航程的話，那麼，就說明中國已經在超空泡魚雷技術方面走在了世界的前頭，將會對中國潛艇的攻擊能力產生革命性的影響!



中國超空泡魚雷，秒殺航母核潛艇



中國在超空泡領域持續實現重大技術突破表明，中國海軍在已經列裝東風-21D反艦彈道導彈的基礎上，又增加一種可在海上戰爭中改變遊戲規則的武器，這將顯著改變目前西太平洋的水下對抗態勢。

俄媒：中國已成功研發超空泡魚雷 是神話般項目

原標題：俄媒：中國已成功研發超空泡魚雷 是神話般項目

近日，央視軍事報道公開北海艦隊軍械大隊夜間演練為潛艇部隊裝填重型魚雷畫面。從圖分析，畫面中出現的潛艇 應該為兩種型號。一型疑似為國產最新型039B級常規潛艇、一型疑似我軍核潛艇。

據俄羅斯之聲電台網站8月31日報道，《南華早報》有關哈爾濱工業大學對超空泡領域進行研究的文章在世界媒 體引發極大興趣。中國科研人員對研制超音速潛艇所發表的聲明尤其讓人關注。要知道，這種潛艇在水下或可達到 音速。俄羅斯戰略和技術分析中心專家瓦西裡·卡申指出，中國在超空泡領域繼續研究表明，中方正投入相當多的 資源、使用蘇聯“暴風”魚雷技術研制武器系統。

從最近信息得到的印象是，中國科研工作者正在從事神話般的項目。此項工作在可預見的未來很難取得實際結果， 但該項目的目標卻具有實際意義。

使用氣墊船來排除和水接觸原則也可以用於水下。在水中以180多公裡每小時的速度行進，可以形成氣泡，來保 護運行物體與水不再接觸從而降低水的阻力。這種現象叫超空泡現象。

中國在上世紀90年代從哈薩克斯坦購買了40枚VA-111“暴風”號水下火箭。這種火箭利用的是超空泡原則，在水下的速度可以達到200節(約370公裡)。 與此同時，中方還與俄羅斯就購買相應技術展開談判，並開始從事研制中國版“暴風”工作。

早前，中國互聯網曾經出現的材料表明，在2006年的時候，中國已經成功研制出自己的“暴風”水下導彈，而 且技術指標要比蘇聯原版強。中國系統的技術參數都通過了測試，效果良好，研制人員也因此獲獎。

但直到現在，再未出現過此類系統系列生產並列裝的信息。這也沒什麼令人驚詫之處。要知道，“暴風”導彈盡管 擁有獨一無二的技術特性，但在使用方面卻有很大的局限性。這種速度超快的水下魚雷導彈噪音極大，而且無法安 裝制導系統。隻能進行直線射擊且射距有限。在蘇聯海軍，“暴風”導彈隻裝備過核戰斗部分，也就是說，對於核 潛艇來說，這實際上是“最后機會的武器”，隻有在發生第三次世界大戰的情況下才有可能動用。

俄羅斯海軍將這種武器從艦船上拆掉了。很難說，中國海軍會使用這種裝備，此外，中國核武庫有限，而且沒有部 署核武器。另一個也曾研制出“暴風”導彈的國家是伊朗，也許，他們准備在封鎖霍爾木茲海峽的時候動用這種武 器。

中國在超空泡領域繼續工作說明，中方在打造這種武器系統方面還在繼續投入不菲的資金，並利用“暴風”導彈已 經成型的技術工藝。也許，中國人希望，他們的水下導彈能夠克服與射距有限和無法制導方面的缺點。蘇聯在最后 存續的一些年中，也曾試圖在這一方向進行研究。

這些復雜工程問題的解決，可使中國海軍在已經列裝反艦彈道導彈的基礎上，再增加一種可在海上戰爭中改變游戲 規則的武器。看來，中國在吸收蘇聯技術並對其進行發展方面，已經處於該領域的前沿。美國國防高等研究計劃署 (DARPA)也在對超空泡領域進行研究。此外，德國也在從事超空泡“梭魚”魚雷的研制工作。

超空泡鱼雷

在某些海军专家的描述中，大型隐身潜艇之间“猫抓老鼠”的对抗有点像空战，小型、近程的“水下战斗机”从巨 大的“水下航母”起飞，彼此利用高速“ 水下子弹”进行射击；而超空泡武器更可能是对抗导弹防御系统的“撒手锏”— ——安装核弹头的远程多级超空泡鱼雷和导弹，能够在海洋水下快速航行数十海里接近目标，而空基或天基的任何 防御手段对它们都无可奈何。

传中国超音速鱼雷面世 首次实现可控超空泡

This one is another model not supercavitation:

Lasers are useless in fog,clouds and water.effective range will be reduced by 85%.

that's why mericans still got rail guns.

Useless Idea. 1 min 1 round. Can be deflected by Magnetic Field. Can not have any electronic on the projectile means a dummy brick. Fly kite.

Go China GO!!!!!

Chink navy only looks good on paper and in their military drills where they win. It's akin to furious masturbating. The chinks have no real combat experience for decades. They only have a decent navy in recent years. It would be many years and a few wars later before they can even think of matching the US.

Perhaps the chinks should test out their military by sending them for peace-keeping missions in volatile regions like afghanistan, syria and somalia.

When a torpedoe is faster than speed of sound in water, there is NO WAY to hear it coming in sonar. You get hit first, before you hear it coming.

When it is so fast you can never move to dodge, being a huge heavy vessel.

When Chinese satellites saw the targets within range, decided to torpedoe, your ships are sitting ducks, and you are all corpses.

i think the speed of sound in water is much much faster than the speed of sound in air,since liquid is a denser medium than air,theres no way anything can reach the speed of sound in water except light.u will still see it on sonar.
