I'd like to see it from a more credible source, but this makes a lot of sense. The scenario they lay out is one that I could see a smart military strategist coming up with. I'm not sure I agree with the suicide run part, which could have simply been either a second torpedo or the fire just plain sunk the rig, but otherwise it makes sense.

The main problem I can see with their theory is that a diesel sub would have made all kinds of noise on its way there (and thus been intercepted by US subs), while a nuclear sub (if it self destructed) would have left an easily traceable signature. It would have had to be a nuclear sub that just launched two torpedos, or launched one and the fire took care of the rest.

Unreported in the US (this was in 2007):

The uninvited guest: Chinese sub pops up in middle of U.S. Navy exercise, leaving military chiefs red-faced

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...red-faced.html

American military chiefs have been left dumbstruck by an undetected Chinese submarine popping up at the heart of a recent Pacific exercise and close to the vast U.S.S. Kitty Hawk - a 1,000ft supercarrier with 4,500 personnel on board.

By the time it surfaced the 160ft Song Class diesel-electric attack submarine is understood to have sailed within viable range for launching torpedoes or missiles at the carrier.

According to senior Nato officials the incident caused consternation in the U.S. Navy.

The Americans had no idea China's fast-growing submarine fleet had reached such a level of sophistication, or that it posed such a threat.

One Nato figure said the effect was "as big a shock as the Russians launching Sputnik" - a reference to the Soviet Union's first orbiting satellite in 1957 which marked the start of the space age.

The incident, which took place in the ocean between southern Japan and Taiwan, is a major embarrassment for the Pentagon
