about the signs that production is about to start.
.
With all the high level visit something big is brewing up
I guess this guy Christopher Carlson is wrong. He wrote an article "Why everybody is wrong about the next gen submarine"
Here is the translation
China seems to produce "mass" nuclear submarines next generation, it is in any case what do know, subtly, the latest publications Bohai Shipyard. What are here that all nuclear-attack submarines (SNA) and nuclear submarine missile launcher (SSBN) of the Chinese navy occurred since 1968.
In the first article in Weixin account of the site on 15 November, item that was removed a few days later, we learned that the leaders of the Communist Party of the Institute 719 and Bohai Shipyard jointly organized a theme day range on future collaboration.
At this event, LI Tian Bao (李 天宝), CEO of the shipyard Bohai, delivered a speech in which he says his team will do everything to "realize the dream of several generations", ie "produce large series of a project, "and that the military products remain the top priority for the company.
Similar sentences were also used during
, where he talked about "schedule and construction missions and testing both charged and difficult", and now "in a future close ".
Here is the fact that the construction of the new production line, which seems to be dedicated to the assembly of nuclear submarines, coming to an end, it suggests that "certain project" both in reality new Chinese SNA
09V type and SSBN
type 09VI .
Knowing that the 719 Institute, a subsidiary of Chinese naval group CSIC and consulting firm specializing in the design of nuclear submarines, began the design of the new generation of submarines since 2012, it seems to be consistent to see the start cutting the first sheet incessantly shortly, as we have already suggested in
.
Current and future periods, the company's products doubled tasks, arduous task to build the test.
Provide valuable learning from the experience of the application of the subsequent fine products, prepare yourself mentally construction of high-volume products at the same time, seize the historical opportunity of a lifetime
And Li Tian Bao is not the only person to have reported that the Bohai shipyard should launch mass construction. His deputy, HU De Fang (胡德芳), who holds the position of general manager, held
, during which he asked them to "well-capitalized industrial experience" and " enter an unprecedented historical opportunity "to better prepare for" the parallel of mass production. "
Although the text did not mention what product it is, but obviously it is the same as LI spoke three days later.

Note also that several senior political and industrial leaders visited the Institute and 719 shipyard Bohai this summer. for example include:
- last he heard on the progress made on a "capital project"
- on the implementation of safety standards
- on the planning and management of human and material resources. , also on November 21.
- , sent by the Business Council of State and seconded to the CSIC, to monitor the production situation
This unusual frequency of visits and high-level inspection is also indirect evidence that the launch of the so-called "mass production" is imminent.
To be continued.
