New Delhi. China has made a major disclosure about an incident involving the American nuclear submarine in 2021. It was claimed that an American submarine was caught in a huge tornado about 200 kilometers out to sea. Now this information is coming to light after the Chinese operation was declassified and made public. It was reported that in September 2021, China launched a campaign to search for this huge tornado, about 200 kilometers wide. This storm occurred east of the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea.

According to a report in the South China Morning Post, China’s most advanced research vessel and a large fleet of drones have been sent there for research purposes. This team set out to study and track this tornado from the air, on the ocean surface and underwater. It was claimed that the US Navy’s Seawolf-class nuclear submarine, USS Connecticut, also arrived there around the same time. This submarine collided with an unknown object on October 2, 2021 and was severely damaged. During the investigation, the US Investigation Military Team found that the officers and crew present on the ship were negligent in this incident.

The Chinese team didn’t help
The lives of those trapped in the American submarine were in danger, but Chinese navy officials did not come forward to help them. The Chinese Navy has made this incident public after three years, publishing it last month in the Chinese-language journal Scientia Sinica Terra. However, it is still unclear whether there is a connection between the collision of the American submarine and the whirlpool.

Tracked the tornado for a month
China tracked this tornado from September 15 to 22. The collision occurred on October 2, ten days after the tornado formed. The US Navy then suffered severe damage to the submarine. A satellite image taken on October 3 showed the submarine floating on the ocean’s surface 42.8 nautical miles southeast of the Paracel Islands.
