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

Unfortunately - for this forum anyway - I shall no longer be posting any imagery.

Having seen my recent satellite imagery plastered all over X/Twitter with ZERO credit - and being used incorrectly by stating new 094s have been launched too - it's an easy decision for me to make. I only posted the images here so this is the source of the problem.

I tested the waters - the waters were bad.

Thank you for trying, your posts here have been great. Really smart.

Hi,
just a little of topic, I’ll encourage you to keep on posting here with using some kind of water mark of
your own for the benefit of members like me who can get good info from your postings & is there anyway
you can stop these images circulating further then been posted here or wherever you have posted yourself
previously
thank you

Thanks. There's actually watermarks in the images. That's how I know they're mine.

AIS i will still post.

Currently in the eastern graving dock - 31st Oct 2025 0720 UTC

Bo Tuo 1 Hai + Bo Chuan Chuang Ye (from now on called BT1H + BCCY)

Historic tracks show they left the piers around 0026 UTC (as normal). They entered the dock around 0242 UTC after dealing with the dock cassions - and still in there.

Activity suggests removing a sub.

No sat imagery available.

Therefore, it was possibly a 093B that went out this morning (UTC) as it was from this pier that it departed.

That still doesn't answer the missing boat that was in the east dock as there does only appear to be one in the basin in the low res Sentinel imagery this morning.

Can confirm from hi res imagery that the 093B from the north pier went out on 27th October. Not sure if it has returned.

I forgot to say - I've been keeping a very close eye on this bay in the new construction halls. Very recent SAR imagery that I can't show (even if the other problem hadn't occurred) shows an anomaly in this area between a 170 and 180 m in length.

Could be a glitch or roof panelling but it has a shape and is pretty solid.

Take this post with a pinch of salt though. It could be anything.

What does an anomaly mean here? Is it a different radar return shape visible on the location of the hall? Suggesting radar penetrating the hall roof?

It is highly likely to be the central raised area of the roof merging into the next bay behind - but you'd expect that to continue for the length of the building. It doesn't.

You'd also expect the same from the other bays, but there isn't. Same with the other sheds.

I wondered whether it was a reflection from the tiling/paint shed, but I've looked at a good 30 or so historic images and that didn't show in any of them - but saying that, neither has the anomaly.

SAR is a funny beast and can throw some weird s***. But it does penetrate things occasionally. The Yumen etc. silo tent covers for example. We got good views back then.

I'm very happy to be wrong, that's all part of Intel analysis.
