South China Sea: US Submarine Collides With Unknown Object

Sailors Injured as US Submarine Involved in South China Sea Collision

China Demands Details on US Nuclear-Powered Submarine Collision


BBC News 9 OCT 2021
.







The USS Connecticut pictured leaving a port in 2018


A US nuclear submarine hit an "unknown object" while submerged in waters in the Asia-Pacific region, injuring a number of sailors, US officials say.

It was not clear what caused the incident on Saturday, they said. The submarine remained "fully operational".

Unnamed officials told US media the collision happened in international waters in the South China Sea, and that 11 sailors had been injured.

The incident happened amid rising tensions in the region.

The US Navy said the extent of the damage was still being assessed and that the submarine's nuclear propulsion plant and spaces had not been affected.

The statement did not give details about where the incident took place or the number of people hurt, saying only that the injuries were not "life threatening".

But two officials quoted by the Associated Press said two of the 11 sailors that were hurt had injuries that were classified as "moderate". All of them were treated on board the submarine.

Those officials said the incident took place while the submarine was conducting routine operations and that the Navy did not make the news public before Thursday in order to maintain operational security.

According to AP, the officials said the object the USS Connecticut collided with was not another submarine. One of the officials quoted by the agency said it could have been a sunken vessel or container, or other uncharted object.

Alexander Neill, a Singapore-based defence and security expert, told the BBC the number of injuries caused by the collision suggested the submarine probably "hit something big" and was "going really fast".

The incident, he said, was "uncommon but not unheard of" and had exposed how busy the area was with military activities.

"The South China Sea has been increasingly saturated with naval vessels from a number of different countries. While there's been a lot of show of force by surface vessels you don't see the level of activity under the surface," Mr Neill said.

In comments reported by Chinese state-run daily Global Times, a spokesman for the ministry of foreign affairs said China was "seriously concerned" about the incident, calling on the US to provide further details, including the purpose of the mission.

The submarine was later reported to be heading towards the US territory of Guam.

USNI News, a site specialised in the US Navy, said the last known incident where a submerged US submarine struck another underwater object was in 2005, when the USS San Francisco hit an underwater mountain at full speed near Guam. One sailor died in the incident.


Why is the South China Sea so contentious?


The USS Connecticut was operating in one of the most contested regions in the world. China claims most of the South China Sea, but surrounding countries and the US disagree.

The Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam have all been disputing China's claim to almost all of the Sea for decades but tension steadily increased in recent years.

The US has backed many of these countries in this territorial dispute.

The incident comes just weeks after the US, UK and Australia agreed a historic security pact in the Asia-Pacific, in what's seen as an effort to counter China.

Meanwhile, the US National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, told the BBC he was "deeply concerned" about actions that undermine peace across the Taiwan Strait, which separates Taiwan and China.

He was speaking after China sent a record number of military jets into Taiwan's air defence zone for the fourth day running.

Prepare For Armageddon: Chinas' Warning to The World

Stop Poking the Panda -Perils of a NEW Cold WAR.

The message coming out of China is getting louder by the day.


60 Minutes Australia 14 Nov 2021



It doesn't like other countries, especially Australia, ganging up and meddling in its affairs.


As we know Beijing is currently doing its best to punish us economically, but in the last few days President Xi Jinping has also ratcheted up the rhetoric by warning of the perils of a new cold war. A loose translation is if we don't stop poking the panda, we'll face serious consequences.

Now it's worth taking the threat seriously because Xi controls the largest military force in the world, and as one of his supporters cautions tonight, the cost of conflict with China could be Armageddon.

China: Taiwan Braces Itself For The Unthinkable Amid Invasion

Peter Dutton Refuses to Confirm If Australia Will Go to War With China If It Invaded Taiwan
- Months After Saying It Would be 'Inconceivable' Not to

Peter Dutton has refused to confirm if Australia would defend Taiwan from China

Mr Dutton previously said it would be 'inconceivable' not to defend the country

The Defence Minister says the focus is to 'deter' China from 'acts of aggression'

Russia's invasion gives speculation over China's steps towards 'reunification'

Daily Mail UK.6 MAR 2022.



\




Taiwan Is Arming Itself To Beat A Chinese Invasion. Some New Weapons Are Better Than Others.





Peter Dutton has refused to confirm whether Australia would defend Taiwan militarily if China were to invade the east Asian country.


It comes after the Defence Minister stated last year that it would be 'inconceivable' for the Australian military not to join the U.S. and protect Taiwan.

Mr Dutton noticeably toned down his comments on the matter during an appearance on ABC's Insiders - as Russia's invasion of Ukraine gives speculation over whether China could be encouraged to take a proactive step towards 'reunification' with Taiwan.

'I think we do whatever we can to deter China from acts of aggression in our region,' Mr Dutton told Insiders host David Speers on Sunday.


The Taiwanese defense ministry is asking lawmakers for $17 billion for 2022. That record budget, accounting for 2.3% of the country’s gross domestic product, would be a 5% boost over 2021’s spending.

The budget would pay for, among other things, new air-defense missiles for the navy’s six Kang Ding-class frigates plus four MQ-9B armed drones for the air force as well as a host of missiles for that service’s growing fleet of new F-16V fighters.

Most of the proposed expenditures—but not all—align with Taiwan’s increasingly defensive war strategy.

Where once the 24 million-person island democracy boasted more and better ships, planes and tanks than its much more populous enemy, today China with its 1.4 billion people has a quantitative and, increasingly, qualitative military advantage over Taiwan.

So Taipei increasingly is leaning on the natural advantage any defender has against an attacker.


“Unifying” Taiwan with China is the central tenet of the Chinese Communist Party’s foreign policy. But Chinese troops have to go to Taiwan to get what Beijing wants. Taiwanese troops don’t have to move an inch. And they’ve had decades to dig in.

Strategists have a word for this defensive crouch. It’s the “porcupine” approach to warfare.

It’s not for no reason that missiles—plus sensors to guide them and vehicles to launch them—lately have dominated Taipei’s spending plans. In recent years, Taiwanese officials have initiated large-scale purchases of new anti-ship, land-attack and anti-air missiles. The porcupine’s spines. Many hundreds of them.

The idea is to lob so many missiles at an incoming Chinese invasion force that the munitions overwhelm the invaders’ defenses. The goal is to sink half of the potentially hundreds of large ships carrying Chinese troops toward Taiwan’s ports and beaches.

Not all missiles are created equal, however. And some of the investments the Taiwanese military wants to make in 2022 are more worthwhile than others.
