I'm a simple old Jarhead and Chair Force retiree, but it seems to me that dragging an anchor for 100 miles in the Baltic Sea is just begging to snag something more substantial than a couple of data cables. How many sunken ships are down there, including iron/steel ships? I suspect snagging an old freighter or warship might raise some hell in the forecastle on that Chinese ship. Just guessing.

Good point. As I said I'm just an old Jarhead and Air Fart. What do I know about dragging anchors? :-) Maybe Sweden can get the ship's captain for failure to obtain a fishing license since he was obviously trolling?
Which shows us the CCP has mapped all our choke points & have a plan ready to go.
Makes for nightmare fuel when you play things out. ChinaтАЩs 6,600 strong shipping fleet & close to 400 million dead weight tonnage could not only shut down communications but rain down ordnance anywhere at anytime and all from close in.
If a small pilot boat almost sunk the Cole imagine what 5% of their shipping fleet can do.

Those hulks (steel ones at least) are well mapped. If you are going to practice this evolution then you will steer well clear of those.
