The Zhou-class vessel, the first of a new type of Chinese submarines, sank in a dock at Wuchang shipyard, raising questions about the nation's maritime military capabilities.
American officials confirmed the submarine sinking incident led to concerns regarding Chinese military transparency, as the government has done little to acknowledge the situation.
Satellite imagery revealed irregular activity at the shipyard, highlighting the sinking of the Chinese submarine and suggesting attempts to cover up the incident by communist authorities.
Experts believe the Zhou-class submarine likely had nuclear fuel on board when it sank, and there have been no reports of environmental checks for radiation from Chinese officials.
