Whale graveyard discovered 7km under the sea

The submarine is Chinese and seems to be quite capable. A far cry and 66 years from the first crewed descent in the Mariana Trench. It was done by the Swiss-designed, Italian-built, United States Navy-owned bathyscaphe Trieste, which reached the bottom at 1:06 pm on 23 January 1960, with Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard on board.
Seems the Chinese are busy, getting involved in all kinds of things. They seem to be our biggest competitor these days. Russia seems to be rather preoccupied with Ukraine, but they are still messing about in Africa, though I don't know how effective that is. On the other hand, we are doing something about Iran, or at least I thought we were. I still think Iran needs to be pounded flat until the clerics lose their hold over the country. I mean Iran is basically a boil on civilization and it needs to be popped. Remember, they killed 30,000 protestors less than a year ago. I guess Russia and China don't mind dealing with Iran as they are familiar with mass murder as well.
