At random: "I don't know why we have to be down here on this hold down exercise(at the 60th hour). Hell, I went through this on the Thresher (SS 200) during WW ll with a Nip Sea Going Tug hooked onto our screw guards, trying to lift our butts out of the water. They didn't get us then, and these Tin Cans (ours) ain't going to get us now." -- "Hambone" Hamilton SD1 (SS). "Hambone" made 13 war patrols on USS Remora, SS-487, uttered these words in July 1957 during a hold down exercise off Kobe Japan.

This story has been around for a while.

It is believable based on the fact that China will never admit a mistake or a setback. AKA "saving face"

I had 15 years of first-hand experience with Chinese vendors, and they could never admit a mistake.

I speculate that this trap they use is why China demanded details on the USS Connecticut collision.

They wanted to know if it was their trap that the boat collided with.
