I mean I can confirm from the picture that this boat does not have the 039C sail for one. It looks identical to the 039B standard (which is different from 039A too). Nor does it have the more pronounced dorsal spine on top of t the hull.View attachment 128659

Bruh whats the point of covering the front to hide the torpedo tubes when it there is a very obvious outline of 6 torpedo tubes.

It is probably just decorative. 6 torpedo tubes is pretty much the standard for Chinese built subs.

For example look at the French launch of the Suffren. It isn't for concealing the tubes for certain because the second photo exists too.

Yeah the bow is the only meaningful way to drape a flag or some such over a submarine to be launched. Hence the practice. It has little to nothing to do with hiding any details. Though that may be a convenient side effect (see the North Korean launch).

I am a bit confused, they specified that the CHD620 is a electric generator instead of an engine which they use to describe the MTU396.

So does that mean that the CHD620 is already used on a submarine, just never in the role of the engine?

Is there any difference between a diesel generator and diesel engine?
