In October 2006, a remarkable event occurred when a Chinese Song-class submarine shadowed the USS Kitty Hawk without detection during naval drills. The submarine emerged surprisingly close to the carrier but refrained from engaging, prompting debates among military experts about whether this was intentional or an accident. Years later, the decommissioned USS Kitty Hawk was sold for just a cent, stirring concerns among veterans about its fate.
