On google maps you can also find a similar module (cannot tell whether it’s the same), but it comes out far short of the 12m though, more like 10m-ish.

New sailless SSN (provisional)

If it would be me, I'll make this a dedicated underwater warfare sub, primary mission is to hunt Virginias and tail enemy boomers. The large displacement is for larger sonar array, electronics, large torpedo magazine with potentially larger tubes, and of course lots and lots of quietening equipment. I'd want it to be the quietest sub in the world and not worry about multirole at all. Today's Seawolf.
Has this been posted? Courtesy of Alex Luck:
Apparently, the submarine at Huludao / Bohai has been launched and is undergoing outfitting at pierside. In a previous post, Alex states that this hull is identical to the one launched at JNCX, citing unnamed but "credible" sources. It remains to be seen whether or not that is indeed the case. My guess is that it is another 09V.

Asserting the two newly revealed submarines are the same design seems quite premature, given the remarkably poor quality of imagery seen to date. Now it's possible, even likely, that certain people are privy to (very) high-res images, but I'm not aware of any claims to that effect from reliable sources.
Best to just wait and see, as always. Many plausible scenarios here.
