09III/09IV (093/094) Nuclear Submarine Thread

[banjex]

That's a question I've wondered about for many years. I assume the major nuclear powers can tell where an ICBM is headed; if so, does China launch if the US and Russia have started an exchange? I don't see why they would, but who knows.

Back on topic please.

Nuclear strategy is not for this thread.

This is 09IIIA.

Some screen shots of OK quality that show some of the close-up details of a 093A. What's that small continuous dorsal gap shown in the last three images?

A flush rail for sailors to latch a harness into while working on deck at sea. With subs sitting so low in the water, the deck often sloping due to the cylindrical cross hull section and poor sea keeping on the surface, there is a markedly elevated danger of going overboard compared to other types of vessel. The rail and harness are not being used here because the boat is in port.

Are there VLS in the little bump? Can't really tell from the pics

What little bump? The one behind the sail? If so, then no. You can see the walkway resting on it to allow personnel access to the ship.

@tshurgart3 on Twitter is claiming a 3rd 09IIIB may have been launched (sorry can't post Twitter links right now).

From my own observations on Sentinel in recent weeks, the transfer barge moved from the harbour wall back into its space in the dry dock but this was then emptied. However, it is now full again but the barge is still in place.
