Chinese submarine gets within firing range of US aircraft carrier

June 16-30, 2011

In 2006, a Chinese submarine left the US Navy hassled. The US Navy which had deployed a battle fleet on exercises found that a Chinese Song Class submarine surfaced close by the USS Kitty Hawk. Normally during such exercises, the US deploys at least a dozen warships to provide a physical guard.

The 160 ft Song Class diesel-electric attack submarine sailed within viable range for launching torpedoes or missiles at the carrier. Senior Nato officials said the incident caused consternation in the US Navy.

It also led to tense diplomatic exchanges, with shaken American diplomats demanding to know why the submarine was “shadowing” the US fleet while Beijing pleaded ignorance and dismissed the affair as coincidence.
