#1 If only we could convince Walmart to make an alliance with the United States we would have the Chinese economy in a headlock.

#2 A diesel-electric boat snuck up on a CBG? Unlikely. I'd be willing to bet they had a track on his ass, but they won't tell.

#3 I'm a former ASWO. Diesel boats cannot make way fast enough submerged to catch up to a BG - morelikely, they were transiting back/forth from an exercise box to/from a night steaming box along a route they've already established and traveled several times before. The diesel boat would sit there waiting for them.

#4 This ChiCom behaviour should be made very expensive. Future incidents should be treated as acts of piracy and treated accordingly. Which these days I suppose means making the pirate crew landed immigrants and providing them with legal counsel.

#5 A press release to make the Chinese look bad. Even if by luck they sat and waited for us we would know they are there. They are very lucky we did not sink them.

#6 The current COMPACCOM, ADM Fallon, is a China appeaser. Fallon's concept of operation is basically a rendition of the old Soviet, Cold War detente CONOP: We'll show you how powerful we are, and how inferior you are...and then you will be persuaded not to confront us. In addition, his policy is to avoid the appearance of aggression such that another EP-3/Hainan incident would be impossible.

Opinion? Someone is using this as a post-election, baseball bat against Fallon.

#7 Thx Sam I was wondering how a Diesel sub caught up to a Carrier. But still wouldn't they ping the waves a few times to see if anyone was playing possum? I am not a navy guy so I am just asking.

#8 Dog catches bus - now what will dog do? Bus doesn't care.
