The Navy said Thursday it fired the two senior officers of a nuclear-powered attack submarine that was damaged in an underwater collision last month in the South China Sea.
The Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine USS Connecticut departs Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for sea trials following a maintenance availability, Dec. 15, 2016, in Washington. China is accusing the U.S. of a “lack of transparency and responsibility" regarding an accident in the South China Sea involving the USS Connecticut last month. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2021, said the U.S. should provide full details of the incident.
The Navy has yet to publicly explain how or why the USS Connecticut, a Seawolf-class submarine, struck a seamount, or underwater mountain, or to reveal the extent of damage to the vessel. The incident happened on Oct. 2 but was not reported by the Navy until five days later, well after it had exited the South China Sea. The vessel made its way to Guam for a damage assessment, where it remains.
