Yeah I call total bullshit. There is no way the entire Sub fleet will be announced as on Stand-Down so they can all learn how to not run into stationary objects in the ocean.. lol if anyone believes this I have some ocean front property in Kentucky to sell you.
It's a bluff. It's cover to give media coverage most likely to give the enemy in China a false sense of security by assuming we have no assets beneath the sea there.
No nation would pull its nuclear fleet and announce it to the world. Ever. This is a tactical move if I were a betting man.
