Great news,
We are going to have dozen of great nuclear submarines.
But what worry me: what if Chinese will set up " fishing net" at the depth 200m , well anchored into ground? In those underwater canons difficult to navigate, places? If our submarine will be always able to get free? Or will stay underwater indefinitely?With lines around propellers and body?
What would happen if spinning propeller , tangled into rope will pull our boat even deeper, beyond safety?
Just wonder how safe our investment and people onboard are/ will be?
Or the trap is designed even to pull our poor submarine down?
I think we should design already some underwater scissors to get free (?)

Sceptics/optimists may say : Nahh. Such big fish will break any lines. !
I would not be so sure.
Remember how thin is our fishing line to catch very big fish?

Space scientist consider now projects of magnitude incomparable:

like a SPACE ELEVATOR that require really the strongest lines to hang from the space onto Earth surface !

Our submarine may be huge but the positive buoyance force is very limited :

Yawning

Even thinking about yawning can cause you to do it. It's something everybody does, including animals, and you shouldn't try to stifle it because when you yawn, it's because your body needs it. It's one of the most contagious, uncontrollable actions a body does.

Can't do that Macro, it'd be banned on environmental grounds. But what did the USS Connecticut hit in the South China Sea? Was it an anti submarine device? Most objects either sink to the bottom or float on the surface. You wouldn't think they'd be silly enough to hit the bottom, a whale wouldn't do much damage to a sub? Someone converting used shipping containers into Cartesian divers maybe?

yep, something smell fishy
Luckily I am not bothered to invent underwater traps, because that is so eaaaasy.
Luckily everything that now sit and wait at the bottom of our oceans is hidden from public view, because nobody could sleep anymore knowing....
Luckily every voyage trough CS is called enforcing freedom not traps/mines/sensors setups expedition.

BTW Do you know what was the BIGGEST EVER SPACE ROCKE invented and designed ?

It was extremally smart designed rocket that doesn't require any launchpad, but starts from ocean water !!!

Sea Dragon !!! bigger that Saturn V that get us to the Moon or not even build yet SpaceX Starship Mother or All Rockets !



en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Dragon_(rocket)#:~:text=With%20dimensions%20of%20150%20m,the%20largest%20rocket%20ever%20built.

Hopefully , Luckily there are not Sea Dragons sleeping on CS bottom as yet. But you may never know till is too late.

the first picture caption feels like lazy journalism:

"Defence experts say it is easy for submarines to bump into objects."

Its ok we have
NOT GREEN NO PEACE

It could be true because submarine to remain stealthy can not use any active sensors.
Can not emit any signals, waves either radio or acoustic that can be then detected by enemy.
Which means that submarine "can not see anything" that already does emit on their own .Most likely depend only on precise underwater maps prepared by in advance .
The problem is that in nature bats could echolocate perfectly, even fish could use electric sensors to detect others, but most modern submarine must remain blind.
That is way nuclear or not it will be always sailing coffin.
quite expensive coffin, one may say...

Its fake news ! Its all to do with the used sub price

What's wrong with expensive coffins? It worked for the Egyptians for about 3000 years
