Gobbledock,
Your 18 hour submarine is interesting.
It would have had to have already been on station in the the South China Sea, to "pop up" in 18 hours.
Are you referring to the Royal Navy nuclear submarine HMS Tireless, that later "surfaced" in the Indian Ocean late March - early April 2014 (operating with HMS Echo - Hydrographic Ship), or are you referring to an earlier (perhaps another - ie different ?) Royal Navy nuclear submarine in the first few days in the South China Sea ?
If so, it could have been "the same HMS Tireless" in both cases.
There was plenty of time (2+ weeks)for her to "transit" from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean.
Given that the Royal Navy only has eight (I think) SSN's, it is pretty unlikely that there would be two of them in the Asian Area of Operations at the same time.
Gobbles, a "better" story - from the "nib" of Bradley West:
One Conspiracy to Rule Them All
http://bradleywest.net/vanishing-mh370-p...racy-rule/
But the best story is mine.
There is another possibility.
The possibility that "someone" did not want those Freescale people and perhaps their "luggage", (both "checked" and "carry on") to get to China, under any circumstances, is the elephant in the room.
If true, MH370 could have gone totally dark - and flown east - direct to Yap (say) or (perhaps) Ulithi. Both are within range, in the middle of nowhere, small islands, minimal locals, old runways "doable in a T7, etc, etc, ie, a suitable FOL (Foreward Operating Location).
As far as the Inmarsat 3-F1 BTO/BFO LOG is concerned, they could easily be "spoofed" either by the "spirit", or from a location almost directly under 3-F1. A smart techo can do all sorts of things with a electronic calibration lab at his disposal. Inmarsat were "worried", and said so, on TV, numerous times, that they "may" have been spoofed. As for the "occasional radar blips over the peninsula and the straits" they could actually be legit, even though there are great doubts of their "efficacy" from all quarters.
In fact, if you think about it, it is quite "easy peesie".
Just task one "spirit in the night" with the "ghost ship role", ie, the "laying of the electronic breadcrumbs role", ie, the decoy role.
Method: - Fly "dark" (of course), but generate a few radar "blips" - "here and there" (by cycling the bay doors - open and close) "every now and again" .............
Such a mission would be simple.
Planning, not too difficult - think "Black Buck".
Now, you will all of course remember, that it was the White House no less, that "drove" the search to the SIO, whilst KL was "dithering".
Connect the dots ? (between breadcrumbs ?) ........ perhaps ?
