This story is weird to me

Considering the current geopolitical weather and the presence of Russian submarines, you'd think the US army would be able to locate the missing object in no time, even with a triangulated location, they failed

Worrying times




Or...you know...the logical explanation that they did not want to give their capabilities away and may have even used this opportunity to mislead.


I doubt the US Army has many options for locating DSVs.


While the US Air Force was part of the US Army until after WW2, the US Navy never was. And it is the Navy that operates ships, subs and such.


Military submarines don't go this deep.



That is a submersible. Military submarines (things that can travel thousands of miles, support themselves, have weapons, etc) appear to bottom out at ~2000m. At least one US military sub imploded well above 2000m.


Let's live blind then!


Subs I believe do not operate at those depths or anywhere close.
