#3 Yeah they're different. They devote a lot of training to how to hold their breath for a long time.

#4 Another advantage of moving people around from boat to boat is that you won't get a whole boat defecting like in Red Oktober. Not that anyone would ever want to leave the Middle Kingdom or anything.

#5 So that raises an interesting question - what is / will be the Chinese military culture? (serious question, not snarky)

The Soviets organized with tight central control of officer actions and brutal treatment of enlisted.

The US, of course, depends heavily on senior NCOs and pushes a lot of authority downward.

What will the Chinese model be and how will it affect their tactics and strategies, I wonder?
