Did the USS Nautilus have any problems?
A good friend served aboard the Nautilus in the late '60's. He said there was a minor incident where the sub crashed into some underwater ice and her hull was slightly bent. This caused her to drift left if the rudders were trimmed at their normal attitude. The trick was to see how many times the Nautilus could make a circle during his watch while the "old man" (the captain) was asleep.
Personally, I really don't believe this story. A captain of any ship would have some navigational skills and should know about how far the sub should have gone while he was alseep. But it makes for an interesting story.

The United States currently has the largest blue-water Navy on the planet. China's Navy is largely coastal more than anything else, and though they seek to expand, having ships and submarines and knowing how to use them strategically is another story. Even the Russians, who had a substantial blue-water Navy during the Soviet years, have substantially curtailed their global naval operations over the last 15 years after the breakup of the USSR.
The United States has Carrier Battle Groups or Task Forces in every major regional area of the globe, most of which are standing fleets that are rotated on a regular basis. For areas that don't have standing fleets, the speed capability of a CBG or CTF ensures that it can be within striking distance within 24-48 hours.
