Foul Mouth Frank Shutz Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Maybe the CIC is letting the commies think there is nothing we can do to stop them so that if they ever do attack they will be surprised when we successfully defend ourselves? I suppose that raises the question of how did we know it wasn't a real attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Balz, SASS#46599 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The Chi comms now own almost a TRILLION dollars of US debt, a 182% increase in the past 5 years. I'm thinking they're a bit nervous about getting paid back. They are ramping up their miltary capability to let us know that they can be a powerful adversary. The release of their new fighter (Thank you bill klinton), ship killing SAMs. I have been flying for 25 years, and have ALWAYS been an airplane nut and I have never seen a contrail that looks like that. First condensation trails are almost always found at high altitude temps, it wouldn't surprise me that they did fire something off a sub, just to let barry know he's in over his head. Some sinister stuff happening out there, amhedinijad and chavez have been meeting a lot, (look for 5 dollar gas thsi summer), putin an hu are working something that is sure to be a bad thing for us. We are fighting two wars, 14 trillion in the hole and have another clueless hole calling the shots. America has never been in a weaker position.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Bobbie, do you think it was a con-trail?? Dunno. Not an expert in that stuff. Seems a bit of a leap to conclude it was a Chicom sub launch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Over 2,000 years ago, Cicero said that such signs and portents must not be ignored, lest Rome fall. Let's not ignore the lessons of history, or, like Rome, our country will last only 500 more years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I KNEW it was a missile, I thought it was from a North Korean submarine............I know, the North Koreans don't have that type of sub............according to the same folks that called it a jet contrail. Watch the next (and last) shuttle take off, then make your call. For the record, I've watched plenty of the Apollo, various "satellite" and shuttle launches..........funny thing, they all looked like that video. Seen plenty of jet contrails, none of them looked like that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Quentin Quale, Esq. SASS 9953 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I spent 16 years in the ASW business. I'm not sure what this phenominon was, but the odds of it being a contrail from a missle fired from a Chinese sub approach zero. Indeed, it being a missle contrail at all approach zero. Unless the underwater surveylance systems have degraded markedly the ability of the ChiCom boat getting close to the U.S. undetected are also about zero. Their nukes are noisier than USS NAUTILUS (so I'm told) and I've personally tracked that beast. Sounded like a boiler factory in a steel drum. I can't tell you what is was, but I'm pretty sure what it's not. SQQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubborn Dutchman, SASS # 61363 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well, I'm no expert in ASW, but what about those old diesel/electrics? I understand they are really hard to track. Also new technology is making quieter subs all the time. Germany has one that is perported to be a hole in the water. A diesel/electric, that uses a hydrogen fuel cell to stay submerged a very long time, and silent. Just because the US hasn't got one, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We got caught with our pants down, period. That was a missle launch, pure and simple. Just because we don't like the implication, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Cypress Sun Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Just for the record, the USS Nautilus was launched in 1954 and decommisioned in 1980..........31 years ago. I'd have to say that technology has progressed since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
