Serious question.

China has been moving to diversify the production of nuclear-powered submarines. Production has been centered in the northeastern city of Huludao, but China is now moving to manufacture nuclear-powered attack submarines at the Wuchang Shipyard near Wuhan.

Is this an ass pull or is there any shred of evidence this was happening before this article was published?
It does feel like they did a bit of light research and had to add a throwaway line to deflect any questions and justify why a nuclear sub is in Wuhan.

Americans on reddit are really eating this shit up

Not a single one questioning the fact that the only source is an "anonymous US official". Because the WSJ would never make shit up about China. Lol

This incident really shows how gullible most Americans really are and how effective their "free media" is at propaganda

Just because you have sailed does not automatically confer competence, especially when he has likely never met a Chinese sub and at most seen a few PLAN surface ships from extreme range...

The crew on vessels like Moskva and US' bumper boat DDGs were sailors too just like Sutton lol

Being an ex sailor does not preclude your personality to have a lack of attention to detail, guillibility and failure to understand/adapt.

Well, we had that SubBrief guy on Youtube several years ago claiming on a (now-deleted) video that the 055 DDGs do not have AESA radars, then proceeded to label anyone who attempted to correct his mistake as SeeSeePee propagandists.

He was a USN SSN submariner. So, yeah.
