If Cuba can use sonic weapons on our embassy staff, I assume China is far more capable of using secret weapons against America – which COULD explain why the US NAvy has had so many crashes in 2017, and all near China.

“The collision between the USS John S. McCain and a Singapore merchant ship today marks the fourth time in the past eight months that a ship in the U.S. Navy’s Pacific fleet has been involved in a crash.
In the wake of the McCain’s collision, which left 10 sailors missing and another five injured, Adm. John Richardson has ordered a broad review of recent incidents involving U.S. Navy ships in the Pacific.
“Richardson is going to look at all factors, not just the immediate ones which will fall rightly under the fleet commander’s investigation of what happened to his ship,” U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis said Monday.
There will also be an “operational pause and a deeper look into how we train and certify forces operating in and around Japan,” Richardson’s office said.
The review will focus on the pace of operations for Navy ships in the Pacific pertaining to maintenance, equipment and personnel. And it will also focus on surface warfare training, including tactical and navigational proficiency.
All four crashes were confined to Asian waters, and the Navy is “not having the same problem in the Atlantic and Mediterranean,” said Steve Ganyard, an ABC News contributor, retired Marine colonel and a former deputy assistant secretary of state.
In its review, the Navy will need to determine why “these mishaps keep happening” with the Pacific fleet, Ganyard told ABC News. “Things like this should never happen, but it’s happened twice in two months, so they need to get to the bottom of that. The Navy will likely look at basic procedures such as training, staffing and operational tempo, or how often the crew is deployed. It is concerning that the crashes occurred during “basic seamanship” instead of in the course of combat operations.”
“It’s the difference between having your driver’s license and being a Formula One racer,” he said. “You both know how to drive but one’s just the basics. This is taking the ship to sea and getting it back safely without running into anybody.
It is “really unusual” for sailors to get hurt or lose their lives at sea, Ganyard said. He estimates that the repairs for the most recent crashes alone — the USS Fitzgerald and the USS John S. McCain – will cost hundreds of millions of dollars….” read far more at thepeskytruth blog article here
