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

That is interesting.

If they're going with a new building hall, it should be able to sustain construction of 1 submarine per year.

So what is happening with the old building hall?

Easily 2-3 at the same time

Get you coordinates ?

I see always the same dry dock with 1 SSN in and right now nothing particular

Yes, but there are normally a few in various stages of construction at any one time.
The latest modular Virginia SSNs take 18months to assemble.

Hence my comment of a sustained 1 per year for this building hall.

But if they can fit 3 at one time and really push it, I guess they could run at one submarine every 6months.

New nuclear submarine construction building soon to be commissioned

This means only one thing China has serious plans nuclear submarines Type 095 and Type 096

Both long term plans

Internal dimensions of the (finally assembly) building: area 40,260 m^2, length 288 m, width 135 m.

Also, as part of the overall project, the building for constructing pressure hull modules: area 35,446.48 m^2, length 204.6 m^2, width 172.755 m. Bid time at the end of 2015, duration of the construction is 540 days.

Well, with a Type 093 being:

Length: 110M
Beam: 11M

It seems like they could work on three to four at a time oif they staggered them appropriately and if the building were set up for it.With a Type 094 SSN even which is:

Length: 135M
Beam: 12.5M

If they staggered them, the could do the same.

Here is an example:

 

[weig2000]

For comparison, Devonshire Deck Hall (DDH) at Barrow-in-Furness, where the Astute-class submarines are built:

Height 51 m (167 ft), length 260 m (850 ft), width 58 m (190 ft), area of 25,000 square meters (270,000 sq ft)

It's longer, but narrower than the Bohai pressure hulls facility.

Probably reserve for building more Type 39A(S-20) types for more exporting is my guess.

Either that or they plan to build a Nimitz-sized submarine to defend humanity from the alien menace.
