Certainly the third one does - but stand corrected if not - but don't forget, it has now been established that not all the 093's that have been on the east side are new.

Well, it's been established that 093s have gone straight into the East graving dock from sea - from solid evidence that I've posted on here previously.Why? Any evidence?
Is it possible that the tarp has no definite connection to whether the vessel is newly launched? Your theory is not supported by any solid evidence.
You'd be surprised. The state of some subs after even a year is atrocious if they've been worked.Why would it need a new tile and paint job when it is at most 3.5 years old?

I haven't seen your previous post. Mind reposting it?Well, it's been established that 093s have gone straight into the East graving dock from sea - from solid evidence that I've posted on here previously.
Your second sat image is one of mine, that I confirmed wasn't a new boat. There's one for you.
Anything else?
Yes, this precisely demonstrates that whether a submarine has tarp covering alone is hardly sufficient to directly determine if it has just been launched.I've posted plenty. I think you can select my user name and see them.
The first one, I'll check back on.
From all the imagery I have seen, I don't think the VLS is complete, and the reactor section is also open on launch - that is why there's potentially a tarp from the sail, rearwards.
But maybe, they've now started the work that has been taking place on the pier in the halls and that is why this one doesn't. That would also allow for the possible delay in the last boat that I was expecting out in November.
Listen, it's just a theory, established from thousands of miles away on a picture taken from space. An early guess. I have already said we'll find out once it is on the pier and possible work starts.
To be honest, i don't care if I'm right or wrong.
Soz, that should have read -OK. Well, we'll see won't we.
Like i said, I'll check the 2024 image when I can.
But the other two are:
one new (with tarp, on the barge), one old (with no tarp, but in the water).
There's no rush.
