A brutal and horrifically ironic loss for the CCP:

Fifty-five Chinese sailors are feared dead after their nuclear submarine apparently got caught in a trap intended to ensnare British sub-surface vessels in the Yellow Sea.

According to a secret UK report the seamen died following a catastrophic failure of the submarine's oxygen systems which poisoned the crew. ...

"Our understanding is death caused by hypoxia due to a system fault on the submarine. The submarine hit a chain and anchor obstacle used by the Chinese Navy to trap US and allied submarines."

China is unsurprisingly denying that the incident took place; communist officials reportedly refused to accept international assistance with the tragedy.

The captain of the submarine, Colonel Xue Yong-Peng, is reportedly among those lost in the incident.

One "submariner," meanwhile, told the Daily Mail that while the U.K has technology "which absorbs Co2 and generates oxygen in such a situation," it is "probable that other nations do not have this kind of tech."
