Integrated Undersea Surveillance System

Yet another ominous development:

The US is reviving its top-secret Cold War-era undersea spy program due to China’s growing naval power, and Beijing has similar plans, Report informs referring to Reuters.

“The US Navy is carrying out the biggest overhaul of its top-secret undersea surveillance network since the 1950s as China’s naval power surges and new technologies are fast reshaping maritime warfare. Beijing has similar plans of its own,” reads the report.

The existence of the IUSS was only made public in 1991 at the end of the Cold War, and the details of its operations remain top secret, the three people said. The three spoke about the classified program on condition of anonymity.

The revival of the multibillion-dollar effort, known as the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS), comes as China has ramped up military exercises around Taiwan, heightening concerns about a potential conflict over the democratically ruled territory, which Beijing wants brought under its control.

Really? As I recall, China "ramped up" things in response to the provocations of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and other creatures of the DC Swamp.

I'm sure China is more than capable of protecting the freedom of navigation in waters so close to their territory. Our presence there is completely unnecessary AND a colossal waste of money.

The US wants war, not peace. And nothing Uncle Sam will do to China could possibly benefit you or me.
