Better Them Than us... The depth in the Yellow Sea is about 275 t0 350 feet. A very bad area for any sub to operate unless they are the old diesel small subs. Our new Hunter Killers would be hard pressed to survive in such a shallow depth, they live down in that 600 to 1600 foot depth. It would have taken a rescue vessel which is not designed to piggy back a Chinese sub.

There by the grace of God, go us. Aussie subs have been sitting up in those waters since the 1970's in the Oberon class of my day and the Collins class of today. Stories have been going around the fleet for decades of escapades even up the through the Yangtze, the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea

This story has been circulating since mid-August with no confirmation. If there was a sunken submarine you'd expect to see Chinese recovery operations in the area - which apparently there is not. I suggest it's just a rumour and has no substantiation behind it.
