Navy lieutenant, wife accused of conspiring to smuggle inflatable boats to China
2019-10-23
[FOX] A U.S. Navy officer and his wife were arrested last week in Florida by the FBI and naval authorities on charges that they conspired to smuggle inflatable military-style boats from the U.S. to China, authorities said.

Lt. Fan Yang, 34, was assigned to the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Weapons School (MPRWS) at Naval Air Station Jacksonville and held a top-secret security clearance while working in a sensitive anti-submarine warfare unit, according to court documents obtained by Fox News. The documents were filed Oct. 11 in the U.S. District Court Middle District of Florida.

#5  China has been trying to copy the Seal program for some time now, with limited success. 4 of their PLANMC guys were captured in 2016 by an Indian patrol vessel when they were conducting exercises without informing anyone. They were made to stay in a hotel and respectfully sent back in a naval copter.

NonCavitating hull shape and silent engine technology would be of interest.

#1  Seems like a lot of Chicom spies are of Chinese descent. Might be time for some judicious profiling.
