US submarine hits ‘object’ while underwater in South China Sea
Navy says some of the nuclear-powered USS Connecticut’s crew suffered minor injuries in collision.

The Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine USS Connecticut (SSN 22) arrives at Yokosuka for a scheduled port visit in July. The US Navy said on Thursday it had hit an 'object' while on underwater patrol in international waters leaving some crew with minor injuries
A US nuclear-powered submarine hit an “object” while submerged in international waters in the Indo-Pacific region, injuring some of the crew, the United States Navy has said.

None of the sailors on board the USS Connecticut suffered life-threatening injuries, the Navy said in a brief statement on Thursday.




“The submarine remains in a safe and stable condition,” the statement said. “USS Connecticut’s nuclear propulsion plant and spaces were not affected and remain fully operational.”

The statement did not elaborate on what the vessel collided with, the location of the incident or the number of sailors who were injured.

US officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the Reuters news agency the incident took place in the South China Sea and that “fewer than 15 people” suffered minor injuries such as bruises and cuts. Two of the injuries were categorised as “moderate”, Reuters reported.

“The safety of the crew remains the Navy’s top priority,” the statement said, adding that the incident was under investigation.

The South China Sea is one world’s most disputed and economically significant waterways. China claims almost the entire area under its controversial nine-dash line and has built artificial islands and set up military outposts in recent years.

Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam and the Philippines also claim parts of the sea, as does Taiwan.

1982 – More than 160 nations conclude the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, an international treaty setting out the framework governing the oceans and their uses.

1994 – The Convention on the Law of the Sea goes into effect. The United States calls this treaty the “Law of the Sea Convention.”

2009 – China issues two diplomatic notes that appear to claim a majority of the South China Sea.

2013 – The Philippines challenges China’s claims of historic rights and other actions in an arbitration case under the Law of the Sea Convention.

2014 – The United States and the Philippines sign an enhanced defense pact, strengthening the U.S.-Filipino relationship.

U.S. should allow the countries involved to negotiate and solf their dispute rather than inciting them against one another

What sort of nonsense is this? There is an international law on international waters. A country cannot just wake up one day and claim a large area of international waters because she has weaker neighbours.

Why should China build military bases on international Waters? Why must commercial ships take permission from China before ing through international waters?

Do you even know this means that in the event of diplomatic crisis with Nigeria, China can ban Nigeria oil export to Japan,Taiwan and other Asian tiger nations which can only be accessed by the south China sea?

I hate when ignorant minds spew trash in public forum.

If USA was minding their business and refused to abolish slave trade since it stripped Africans of their dignity, I am sure you would have been a slave today working in one white man farm.

I have come to realize that most people love their oppressors and despise their saviours. How are nigerians even treated between an average American and Chinese company? Even the democracy you enjoy today and have the power to spew trash online without harassment was given to you by America.

It is obvious that something is inherently wrong with many black people

Let us try to be reasonable and avoid parochial sentiments.

The submarine is blind

This war dem just de do like when we were younger. You go just draw line for your opponent and tell am to cross am. He will just be pushing his leg small small and be touching the line. Na so America and China de do now

Do you think China, the country in the region with the most advanced military tech will negotiate with anybody

Don't be a naive fool.

The US presence in the South China sea has staved off potential conflict and has saved millions of lives already.

Did you not read where it's said to be international waters or you have chosen to ignore that part?

pls no need to lecture the idiotttt

He’s a Muslim he’ll always hate the US, same thing with all Muslims they hate US and the west but you see them running to western countries instead of their jihadi terrorist countries like Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia


The truth is the authority of this world has been given to the west (Christians nations) nothing Islamic terrorist can do about it they’ll continue to wail until their religion start declining and fade out of this world soon

there is a certain distance from a territory under international law from which the water becomes an international water. China no dey mind that law. U think the Chinese will allow the US get close if no such law exist?
