There has been talk about US retirining it's land based missiles and go with air and sea delivery. US sea based deterrence is so robust that they only have ICBM's because of "that's how it has always been".

It would be a sensible move but I am aware of no indication that the idea is being seriously considered. The American establishment seems united in preparing to refresh the entire nuclear deterrence apparatus over the next fifteen years or so. The Trump administration seems unlikely to alter that, except perhaps in the direction of "more".

I have a question: We can found that Chinese SSBNs will use Yellow sea/Bohai Sea as some sort of bastion ( like Soviets/Russians use White Sea ). Is that possible? Isn't Bohai Sea too shallow and with too much traffic for SSBN operations?

Yet ofc Bohai Sea in more for a SSBN is not a good place but mainly the four 094 are based to Sanya, Yalong Bay exactly and the Bastion is in SCS,2nd Submarine base.

The 092 is based to Shakizou/Jiangezhuang near Qingdao with NSF 1st Submarine base in the same port there are 3 Han and normaly a new 093B ( 093A are to Sanya normaly... sure exist one, normaly 2 ! ) but appear do only a patrol and according all experts* i have read it is a test bed capable launched JL-1A sure modified for JL-2 ? maybe not usefull coz the 032 can launch this SLBM and in more also futur JL-3.

*And on all or almost all GE views i have see she is there...

Gentlemen! In June 2016 and in August 2017 there was a huge "truck-like" Monster at the DF-41 Pad at Taiyuan. It measured 24x5m. I don't think that it is a TEL - maybe a sort of emplacement equipment.
Any ideas?

Thought I'll create a comparison of PRC's ICBM and SLBM. Lot of speculation and assumptions has been made. This is off-course incomplete. I have to add DF-41, DF-4, DF-5A/B. I also home to add the max warheads carried. Later-on I might add Other ballistic missile like DF-21/26 etc as well as ASAT and ABM.
