China sub stalked U.S. fleet
USS Kitty Hawk failed to detect that it was being shadowed by a Chinese Song-class diesel attack submarine until it surfaced within five miles of the aircraft carrier Oct. 26.

The aircraft carrier was within the firing range of the submarine's torpedoes and missiles before the submarine was spotted during a routine surveillance flight by one of it's planes.

The incident is reported to have happened in waters near Okinawa.
