I'm not talking about ways to carry out silencing but more domains of silencing performance.

Specifically, at different speed profiles...

Ah, so like making sure that noise is dampened whilst the engine is moving at faster speeds

First the JL-1, then the JL-2. When will it be JL-3's turn?

A model of a 094 SSBN with a pump jet. I'm not sure of its provenance or authenticity.

Seems legit to me.

It makes a load of sense and is in line with the Chinese military philosophy of incremental improvement.

At some point in the last 10 days *something* appeared in the launching drydock. However, the launch barge does not appear to have moved - usually it is left on the bottom of the dock for a few weeks after a launch. There's also a sub in for refit in the drydock on the West (old) side.

I think it's the shadows from the crane.

I don't have access to any hires imagery to confirm what it is this time.

I've seen Maxar imagery now and confirm it's a 094 in the dock on 11/6/25. There's currently a 093A in there now.
