U.S. Nuclear Submarines at Risk? Scientist Claims China Can Detect Stealth Subs
The US Navy’s nuclear-powered submarines are considered some of the world’s most stealthy war machines. However, with advancements in submarine-detection technology, Chinese scientists are claiming that they can now detect even the most-silent nuclear submarines. Researchers from Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) in Xian claim they can now detect even the quietest submarines by harnessing the […]
This is “well within the sensitivity range of existing airborne magnetometers.” Detailed in the peer-reviewed Journal of Harbin Engineering University on December 4, the team’s approach makes use of a crucial flaw: “Kelvin wakes cannot be silenced.” This triggered a fierce reaction from China, with the Chinese state-owned publication Global Times publishing a report criticizing the US for not releasing crucial information about the accident of a nuclear-powered submarine. These extremely low-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves can penetrate seawater, making it possible to detect submarines hiding hundreds of meters beneath the surface,” read a report in SCMP.
