China Claims Breakthrough in US Nuke Sub Detection Everything you need to know

China claims to have made a breakthrough in detecting stealth nuclear submarines.

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter have developed an ultra-sensitive submarine detector.

This detector can detect traces of the most advanced submarine from great distances.

The Chinese science team used computer modeling to determine the possibility of detecting the near-imperceptible bubbles a nuclear submarine produces.

These bubbles create turbulence and can lead to an electromagnetic signature through the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect.

The researchers found that electromagnetic emissions produced by the cavitation bubbles fluctuate over time, generating a distinct signal in the extremely low frequency (ELF) range.

This discovery could be a game-changer for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operations.

As sensor resolution, processing power, and machine autonomy improve, the range of detectable signals will expand.

This means that previously indistinguishable signals can now be distinguished.

However, despite advancements in stealth technologies, submarines can still be detected in the world's oceans due to parallel progress in science and technology.

This breakthrough in submarine detection technology may complicate US plans to hunt down and detect Chinese nuclear ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) patrolling the South China Sea.

US nuclear attack submarines (SSN) are known to be operating in the South China Sea, and China now has the capability to mount round-the-clock SSBN patrols.

While the growing transparency of oceans and the possibility of breakthroughs in submarine detection pose a rising threat to US dominance of the seas, experts argue that the US lead in submarine detection and stealth technology, along with favorable geographic positioning and the threat of US nuclear retaliation, ensures the continued relevance and survivability of US SSBNs as the country's ultimate nuclear deterrent.
