According to the South China Morning Post, their scientists have refined a method for tracking the magnetic signatures left by submarines as they move through water. The deep, once a place of silent refuge, may soon become a battlefield.
For decades, America’s nuclear deterrent relied on stealth. Ballistic missile submarines—boomers—could disappear into the abyss, ensuring second-strike capability.
Our technology advantage is slipping.
- First, Russia acquired Western machining tech to silence their propellers.
- Now, China is using magnetism to track subs.
- If they master it, they can find, follow, and kill.
Imagine a missile fired from land, striking water, morphing into a torpedo, and homing in. Submarines—once the ultimate deterrent—would become prey. The game of nuclear chess would become a game of chicken.
China is an old civilization but a reckless newcomer to power politics. It wields modern weapons with no ethical guardrails. Its ambitions are vast, and its methods ruthless. America must counter this threat before the balance shifts for good.
The U.S. must act—now.
More funding for countermeasures, a more aggressive naval strategy, and tighter restrictions on technology transfers are needed. If our boomers are no longer safe, neither is the world.
