New Chinese Submarine
Aug 26, 2014 08:03:39 #
A couple of weeks ago, I posted an article about North Korea's "new" 1957 Russian diesel sub. We all got a good laugh out of that. Now we have hints of another submarine from the Orient.
China claims to have the technology to make a submarine that can travel at over 3,600 mph - submerged. That mean China to California in under two hours. I think their propaganda is expanding on Russian technology of the Cold War era. The Russians developed a torpedo that could travel at 230 mph.
I wonder how long it would take a sub to stop when it's traveling over 3,000 mph.

I've been trying to figure out what this has to do with photography but, I gotta' admit, I'm stumped...

You'd better use a fast shutter speed if you see this coming:)

Who was it that said that "the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it"?
What would the acceleration be on a sub going that fast? Would you have to scrape all of the passengers off the back bulkhead? and would it accelerate to that speed immediately or just be getting to speed by the time it reached California?.. lol

They need a crew of flying monkeys to operate it, but MGM has a lock on ALL flying monkeys. Seems they liked the Wizard of OZ so much that they are bound to the little guy who turns valves and hides behind curtains. Jimmy Peanut tried to get them to be in his cabinet, but they were busy making "Whoooopie"! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I guess you would have to use a flash and an air trigger(?) to catch something moving this fast. Wonder what an underwater sonic boom would sound like?

Ah, good point. This should have been in Chit-Chat. I'll have it moved.

I'm afraid this lie is too big for anyone to believe. This is more like something North Korea would announce.

They actually are using the Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor from the Delorean in Back to the Future...
