The $5 Billion Blind Spot How A Single Diesel Submarine Humiliated An Entire Carrier Strike Group ππAdded:
October 2006, the USS Kitty Hawk is on exercise.
[music] 12 warships, active sonar, its own dedicated attack submarine.
>> [music] >> None of them detected it.
A Chinese Song class submarine surfaced 5 miles from the carrier, inside torpedo range. The US Navy found out only because a routine plane spotted it on the surface.
The nuclear-powered hunter was being followed by a diesel-electric ghost.
[music] The entire fleet never knew it was there until the enemy chose to be seen.
