The nuclear drive of the “USS Connecticut” was not impaired and is still fully functional, announced the Navy. “The submarine is still in a safe and stable condition.” The extent of the damage to the rest of the Seawolf-class hunting submarine is now being determined. In addition, the incident is being investigated.

According to US media, the incident is said to have occurred in the South China Sea. The cause of the collision could therefore have been a sunken ship or a container.

The incident attracted attention amid current US-China tensions. Just a few days ago, Washington expressed “very worried” about Beijing’s recent military actions against Taiwan. The intrusion of Chinese military aircraft into Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) is “destabilizing, risks miscalculations and undermines peace and stability in the region,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Ned Price last weekend.
