Chinese Submarine ATTACKED U.S. Carrier in the Philippine Sea… Then This Happened

A Chinese Type 093B Shang-class nuclear submarine silently closed in on the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group in the Philippine Sea… and what happened next shocked both navies.

At 0445 hours, the Chinese submarine reportedly opened its torpedo tube and prepared a YJ-18B anti-ship missile—a weapon capable of crippling even the most powerful U.S. carrier. But in seconds, the U.S. Navy unleashed a coordinated anti-submarine warfare response involving destroyers, MH-60R Seahawks, and a P-8 Poseidon, turning the ocean into a battlefield of sonar blasts, torpedoes, and electronic warfare.
This cinematic breakdown reveals:

This is a detailed, OSINT-style reconstruction of one of the most dangerous underwater confrontations of the decade — a clash that could have triggered a major Pacific crisis.
