China’s new role for its nuclear submarines has the Pentagon's attention

[Social Media]

China's military has adopted a policy of keeping at least one nuclear-capable submarine at sea at all times, the U.S. military has determined.

The Pentagon announced the discovery in a little-known report in late November of last year. China maintains a fleet of six nuclear-capable submarines, carrying missiles that could hit the continental United States from the South China Sea.

Analysts say China's new policy will place further strain on U.S. and allied forces in the region as they attempt to track China's vessels

Oh course the USA would never have nuclear submarines near China.
