Chinese submarine underwater

Yes indeed.  A Chinese submarine is underwater.  Unfortunately for the Chinese it is not a finished submarine.  Per the AP

Sub underwater

Just an early test, nothing to worry about, commrad.

As a former Journeyman Outside Machinist, Sub construction, I joke with my current co workers. "Anybody can make a boat that will sink; we had to make 'em come back UP!"

And that made  me think of the Chinese army sourcing supplies from Temu in general.

I needed that laugh.  Thank you.

The idea of building a submarine with Chinesium components is a bit scary. Funny, but scary.

Satellite photo clearly showing the cause of the sub's demise:

Reminds me of the movie 1941 (I likes the movie, very funny, from a historical perspective at least, the movie is NEVER played anywhere though):

(after shooting at Japanese submarine with 40mm AA gun, that ended up in the living room of a house):

"I think we hit him"

   "How do you know"

"He's going down"

I can't find that scene, but here is one (in poor quality) from within the sub.  Some good Slim Pickins stuff here (please note that everyone understands everyone else on the submarine despite speaking Japanese, German and English):

Here is where they emplace the gun (but not the scene where they shoot at the sub).  You might recognize a few actors here:

Maybe it's the new Chines method of Reverse Pressure Testing.  Sink it, pump in air and look for bubbles.  GENIUS!!

Pick one:

Drain plugs?  I thought you said they were in.

When I said screen door on a submarine I was kidding.

Please pay attention to the door ajar light

That's OK, just take a picture before it sank and we can sell to North Korea

A serious option.  Their scheme to prop up their economy via real estate and construction is faltering. 

Defense spending never sleeps, though.  They'll just build a new one
