TOKYO (AFP) - A Chinese navy submarine stalled apparently after a fire broke out aboard the vessel while it was submerged in the South China Sea, a Japanese newspaper said.
The submarine was being towed Monday above the water by a Chinese vessel towards the Yulin Naval Port on China’s Hainan Island, the Yomiuri Shimbun said, citing Japanese and US defense sources.

While my immediate concern is about the sailors, it will be interesting to see how (and if) the Chinese press deal with this. Submarine disasters in other countries have not reflected well on governments.
