O_o holy shit.
Who watches the watchmen?
Yes, yes they did as the linked news story points out. ._.;
I was scared of my chair for a long time after reading that one. >.<

Keep in mind the Ohio's are soon to be retried without replacement. Also China has done the impossible many times before, and the CCP always gets what it wants.
I Bring Doom,and a bit of gloom, but mostly gloom.
Blowout soon fellow Stalker
When have they ever done the impossible with regards to their military engineering and R&D?
Oh really when?

Jack: I hate to break it to you but they just reinvented the U-Boat. As in WWI technology variety not the Wolf Pack of WWII variety.
Also the Ohios are not due to retire at the earliest 2029 or more likely 2030. There are plans for replacement and those plans have been in place since 07 and included the whole chain of things needed for a major procurement and replacement project.

^^ They just launched their second aircraft carrier and unlike Liaoning that one is entirely fresh Chinese steel and metal built from the ground up in China.
Tuffel: The exploding chair (among other things) made it into a Cracked article.
However will we ever catch up to them on this capability?
Submersible battleships.

We don't need to worry too much about China. The cutting edge of their technology is about 20 years behind ours.

So I need to add anal death rape chairs to the list of Chinese things I'll never get close to, that along Chinese made exploding cellphones, decapitating elevators and people eating escalators.
I think China is a death world where you need to roll a die just to check if a random appliance won't malfunction and kill you.
For their arsenal ship, good luck on that one though.
Inter arma enim silent leges
I'm just waiting for something to explode on either carrier so we can have some kind of competition over whose carrier is the biggest disaster between China and the Russian Federation.
Still not embarrassing enough to stan billionaires or tech companies.
I mean, the US has had its share of engineering fails too. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge is a famous one.
And wasn't it only one chair that blew up?
But when you think about it, if they can't keep their ships from sinking, then just building them as submarines has a certain inspired brilliance to it![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
Also, submersible battleships is silly. Submersible aircraft carrier zeppelins are the future.
Isn't that indigenous Chinese carrier basically just a slightly upgraded copy of the one they bought from the Russians?

On the outside, yes. On the inside however, we don't know and they could for sure have installed much newer equipment.
And it could also more likley be barely working.
More likely than the Kuznetsov? Very nearly a given.
Eh, from the sound of it, the PLAN keeps better care of their carrier(s) than the Ruskies do of Kuznetsov, so I'm not so sure it's that bad.

I mean, if nothing else, the fact that the Liaoning carriers (especially the two new ones coming down the slip in a few years) aren't older than their crews will mean a lot even if the Russians knew what "preventative maintenance" was.
Just the fact that Kuznetsov spent years mothballed (and there was a mothball shortage due to rationing) probably put some rot into the ship by itself.

A Research Team Has Located And Explored The Wreck Of The Italian Warship Artigliere.
I'm trying to find other sources on this.

Live science has a short one on it.

Another new type of narco sub/boat has been found. Initial examination suggests it is actually fairly sophisticated.
The ship was abandoned when it was discovered by the Guatemalan National Civil Police about 23 miles off the coast of Guatemala, between the Sipacate and Nahualate Rivers. According to HI Sutton, author of the Covert Shores web site, the ship had been stripped of its outboard motors and navigation equipment.
Sutton, a naval analyst who specializes in naval special forces craft including submersibles and VSVs, says it is a sophisticated design. "VSVs are normally associated with Navy Special Forces or racing, so this is the first time we have seen a narco-sub which uses this design", Sutton told Popular Mechanics.

USCGC McCulloch has been found. The ship was part of the Spanish American war participating in the "Battle of Manila Bay" survived the conflict and into the next century. It would be sunk later in an accidental collision with another ship in poor visibility weather on June 13, 1917. While all the crew were rescued the ship went down and was not found until fairly recently.
An update on the sailor that was thought to have gone overboard from USS Shiloh a week ago:
Next stop Leavenworth, or however the hell you spell the name of that prison. Bet his mates are really chuffed about finding him.
Exploding chairs? Did they some how fail in creating a pneumatic support chair used in offices around the world?
I am frankly unimpressed by the "arsenal ship".
