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

[gongolongo]

Lmao US reports are a joke as they have been caught straight up giving incorrect data for propaganda purposes before.

China, which has same or better material science than America, and also experience building some of the most quiet SSKs on the planet, wouldn't transfer that over to SSNs?

SSK's are relatively easier to keep quiet especially because electric mode is inherently very quiet. Nuclear reactors are very loud. Making a nuclear reactor quiet does seem like something that needs generational knowledge and experience. I think improved LA noise levels is already quite impressive.

Some thing new in today’s satellite photo, seems different from last 093B

The photo is rather blurry. Mind pointing out which one is it?

Maybe some kind of engineering base? The shape looks regular and the color is uniform

It looks like the launch platform is afloat, but I am not convinced if I see anything on top of it.

They are just putting the barge back in its "hutch" after the recent launch I think.

the high-resolution photo from WSJ article…seems we can see the clear image of the barge

We don't need the WSJ article's image to have a clear picture of the barge; there are google earth images going back years.

It's not like the WSJ article's image is dated in a relevant way to any immediate launch that had immediately occurred before or after either.

"Capacity to build at least two submarines simultaneously"

My sides.

It's technically correct. 20 >= 2.
