Retraction: Chinese Sub Surprises U.S.S. Kitty Hawk

We here at Mod-Blog are all human and unfortunately, that means we make mistakes. I was discussing the story about the Chinese Sub and the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk today and found out that the article I referenced was misleading. Although the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk was out to sea at the time of the posting, this incident happened during its 2006 winter cruise. I apologize for the erroneous post. The refusal of the Chinese government to dock at Hong Kong did happen this cruise and is considered a big deal.

Chinese Sub Surprises U.S.S. Kitty Hawk

The other day while the U.S. Navy was doing exercises in the Pacific, a Chinese sub surprised them surfacing within range of firing a torpedo or missile at the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk. Now, I happen to know that the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk is one of our older aircraft carriers so perhaps a newer aircraft carrier would have detected the sub, but the Chinese sub had to also slip past at least a dozen surface ships and at least two submarines to get that close. This is a wakeup call that China's friendship is merely one of convenience. We must be on our guard and continuously researcher how to keep our military superior and safe.
