Imagine submerging outside of Shanghai and then breaching the sea’s surface in San Francisco less than two hours later. Sound impossible…and a bit scary? It might be, but that’s what researchers in China are trying to find out.

China’s Harbin Institute of Technology told the South China Morning Post (SCMP) that it was studying a phenomenon called supercavitation for use in submarine propulsion, which in theory could allow for underwater traveling speeds of up to 3,600 mph.

Compared to the US Navy’s Ohio-class submarines, which reportedly top out at around 29mph, these speedy Chinese subs would effectively be the hypercars of the submersible world.

Sounds like an ocean full of dead fish to me in a band about 100 to 200 miles wide all across the ocean. And at this speed the wake created could be a 100 foot high tidal wave in two directions or more that could devastate a whole ocean of nations.

It would be sort of like above a 9.0 Earthquake size tidal wave that likely would be created in two directions likely which theoretically would kill about 250,000 to 1,000,000 people around the Pacific Ocean if this is where it was used similar to or exceeding the 2004 Earthquake and Tsunami in Indonesia.
