The US Navy ordered a safety stand-down for the entire submarine force on Wednesday in response to the results of an investigation into an incident last month in the South China Sea.

Appear weak when you are strong.
This guy reads ^
Hopefully that is what they are doing here. I'm somewhat uncomfortable with the idea that they stood down the entire submarine fleet and then announced it to the world.
Why would this be advertised? For a purpose.
No, no don't try to pull any shit, you commie navy. We're on stand down.
Mr Tzu... is that U
Dude, that applies to when you are at war, not when you are trying to prevent war.
Can you imagine what a shitty deterrent appearing to be weak would be?
We are at war… the TV news just hasn’t told people.
Is the fleet actually on stand-down, or just advertising that notion? That’s a legit question, because I have no way of knowing the truth… but I don’t for a second blindly accept what is published in the news.
Absolutely. There is a ploy here somehow, but someone more in-the-know than me needs to examine what this is REALLY about.
I dunno the people running the navy are in chinas pocket and really stupid...
Yes we are already at war.
Getting the enemy to attack you, win you're are at war. When you are not at ACTIVE war, you delay war so you can increase you advantage. You only provoke the enemy to attack, when not at war, when your advantage grows less.
Dude, do you not understand that you are at war?
