09V/09VI (095/096) Nuclear Submarine Thread

[Maikeru]

Since the 1st 093B appeared in May 2022, 5 years ago, it seems (visual confirmations, strong rumours, US DoD reports) the following boats have been launched, if not commissioned:

8-11 x 093B
1 x 095
1 x 09X
2 x 094B
3 x 041
? x 039C
4 PN Hangors

That's at least 19 subs in 4 years.

three 041s?

three 041s?

That's what we divined from Admiral Wotsit in his testimony to Congress.

Could someone try check the AIS tracking histories of tugboats operating at Jiangnan on or around June 3rd?

The 095 SSN that was launched in February this year is seen moored at Huludao in this July 15 satellite photo, alongside the (possibly experimental) trimaran submersible vessel at the center and a 094/A/B SSBN at the bottom right corner.

The 095 SSN is seen moored in this satellite photo taken on July 12th at Huludao, alongside a 09X SSN directly above, a (possibly experimental) trimaran submersible vessel at the bottom center, and a 094/A/B SSBN at the bottom right.

While it may be a forced comparison, perhaps the 095 and 09X are supposed to be the PLAN equivalent of PLAAF's J-36/J-50 combo, complementing each others roles and capabilities.

Additional production, or the absence of it, should clarify the nature of 095, as opposed to the new boats. We should know soon enough, considering the present production rate.
