		<description><![CDATA[The always-transparent China has been building a submarine base near Sanya, on Hainan Island off its southern coast.  This represents a further expansion of China&#8217;s presence in this South China Sea/Paracel Islands area&#8211;a build-up that has been going on for the last twenty years. What I find interesting is that FoxNews calls this a secret submarine base, even though it is clearly not secret.  I know about it.  You know about it.  The world knows about it.  It&#8217;s been known, in fact, since 2002.  So, how secret is it? Jane&#8217;s, the venerable publisher of military periodicals and books, has a more sober take on the matter, simply calling it &#8220;a major underground nuclear submarine base.&#8221;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am reading an excellent book called Iron Coffins, by Commander Herbert A. Werner, who served on five German u-boats between 1941 and 1945.  Judging by this sailor&#8217;s uniform and the quality of the photo, I&#8217;d guess that this is WWI.  But I liked it anyway and thought I should include it.  In fact, there&#8217;s something &#8220;non-German&#8221; about the image that I cannot put my finger on, even though the site&#8217;s caption claims that it&#8217;s German. What didn&#8217;t I know about u-boats?  Mostly everything.  For any reader with even a scant knowledge of boats and subs, none of this will be news&#8211;but it was news to me.  Here are some things I&#8217;ve picked up so far: By 1944-45, the u-boat losses skyrocketed.  I&#8217;m not quite sure I believe the chart in Iron Coffins, but here goes anyway:  600-700 boats lost during that period.  Can anyone verify?  That sounds huge. U-boats and subs in general do most of their operations top-side.  They only go under when they absolutely need to be hidden. Amount of diesel fuel was sufficient to take them far into the North Atlantic and return, though fuel stops did sometimes happen. The goal was to rack up tonnage, [...]]]></description>
