Chinese submarine conducts FON against USS Ronald Reagan | Washington Free Beacon

Will the US sailors resign en masse like those on USS Cook did when they were jammed by a sooooper dooooper Russian plane ?

You suggest something but fail to look into why the officers were relieved.

On 5 December 2013, Cowpens was involved in a minor confrontation with a Chinese warship
...
On 13 January 2010, the ship's commanding officer, Captain Holly Graf, was relieved of command by Rear Admiral Kevin Donegan, Commander, Carrier Strike Group Five, following the imposition of non-judicial punishment. The punishment followed an investigation which verified allegations of cruelty and maltreatment toward her crew, and conduct unbecoming an officer — violations of articles 93 and 133 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, by Graf during her tenure as captain of the USS Cowpens. The investigation was initiated after multiple allegations and complaints of physical and verbal abuse were made to Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Navy Inspector General by several members of the crew. Captain Graf was subsequently replaced as the commanding officer by Captain Robert Marin. A subsequent Time article revealed that Graf had a history of abusive treatment of subordinates in earlier assignments and that navy leaders had not acted on previous complaints about her behavior. The US Navy forced Graf into early retirement in 2012, but allowed her to do so at her current rank of Captain and under "honorable circumstances."

On 10 February 2012, Cowpens' commanding officer, Captain Robert G. Marin, was relieved of command for inappropriate personal behavior after he had an adulterous affair with a fellow captain's wife. Captain Paul Lyons, deputy commander Destroyer Squadron 15, temporarily assumed command.

On 10 June 2014, the commanding officer of the Cowpens, Captain Gregory Gombert, was relieved of command for poor performance in a number of inspections. Capt. Robert B. Chadwick II temporarily assumed command on that date.
Based on an official report, the Navy Times reported that Gombert took ill midway through the deployment and rarely left his quarters for nearly three months of the cruise.
The report concluded Gombert had exaggerated the extent of his illness. It also noted accusations of an unduly familiar relationship between Gombert and a female Lieutenant commander who was Chief Engineer, acting Executive Officer and filling in for Gombert during his illness.
The Command Master Chief was also relieved at that time since he did not report the problems to higher authorities.
At Admiral's non-judicial punishment in July 2014, Gombert was found guilty of five counts failure to obey lawful orders and one count conduct unbecoming an officer. The Chief Engineer was found guilty of two counts failure to obey lawful orders and one of conduct unbecoming an officer. The Command Master Chief was found guilty of two counts failure to obey lawful orders.
Gombert was the third commanding officer of Cowpens to be fired since 2010.

In September 2014, Cowpens second-in-command, executive officer, was fired after he was found guilty at Admiral's non-judicial punishment of drunken or reckless operation of a vehicle and conduct unbecoming an officer. He was the 4th member of Cowpens leadership team to be removed in 2014.

I sincerely doubt the relieving of duty of these officers has any relation to the incident with the Chinese ship.

Except maybe India and the Southwest coast of Africa.
Cough....no. IN and UN work closely to monitor the Indian Ocean. And the area around India has enough buoys tracking ship movements. Any Chinese ship would need to pass through the Malacca Straits and thereby pass what we can Andaman Nicobar Command. Practically impossible.

Chinese warships and submarines should be made to shadow every US warship that comes within 500 nautical miles of Chinese shores。

This is a cat and mouse game。The USN should be harassed one way or another whenever and wherever possible。:D

The better answer will be, do what US is doing with China.

Use FON and patrol near mainland USA with whatever you can send there then check their response.

Thanks for bringing up another spanking of USN by PLAN.

Chinese Warship Nearly Collided With USS Cowpens | Military.com

Captain of USS Cowpens relieved of command | FOX5 San Diego – San Diego news, weather, traffic, sports from KSWB

Soon we'll see the captain of the ASW frigate protecting USS Ronald Reagan relieved of command as well for letting a 1990's era Kilo get within torpedo range!

They don't even know about our new 095 SSN stalking them from San Diego to Guam!

The sub that tracking down the CVN-76 was not a Kilo or Type 039, it was a Type 093 SSN.

Since the US nuclear supercarrier can sail at a cruising speed of 30 knots, while it is impossible for a diesel electric submarine to track it down, only a nuclear sub can do that.

Yes training for the IN to monitor your subs.

If you think from a media article, that your sub was not detected, you are living in la la land. And if you think, it was not detected by both the IN and the USN you really are overestimating your capabilities and underestimating ours.

Since the US nuclear supercarrier can sail at a cruising speed of 30 knots, while it is impossible for a diesel electric submarine to track it down, only a nuclear sub can do that.

You would need a SSK to get in close and personal with a USN carrier. An SSN stands no chance. The SSK would need to be in position long before the CBG arrives and on AIP in full silent mode with a non magnetic hull.

The screening area for the CBG is too great for any ship, in war-time, to get up close and personal to an USN CBG. Its backed with AEWs, EW aircraft, ASW ships at the outer perimeter.

Hence, from a tactics perspective, if you want to take down a USN carrier, you need to be in shallow warm waters, not too deep to ensure that sonar can be confused, stay silent with AIP and have a non magnetic hull. And once you launch all your torpedoes, get to persicope depth and abandon ship.

Makes no difference. In peacetime.
