Re: PLAN Pictures Thread 4

Nice close-up of forward deck on the 168, taken from another forum.

You can see the 18-tube MLR clearly from the back. Those tubes look pretty long! Maybe 6 feet in length?

p.s. Is there any possibility that we might increase attached image file size (in kb/mb) for the forum?

Re: PLAN Pictures Thread 4

the new Chinese intelligence gathering (ELINT) ship, there are some speculations that it will play the role of T-AGOS 23 Impeccable class ship (

) for PLAN. Maybe even have a Chinese version of SURTASS or some form of TAS.

This one is more of a swath. In the swath, the pontoons are submerged, not floating on the surface.

Re: PLAN Pictures Thread 4

Well I once used this example. Normal catamaran is like two boat hulls linked together from superstructure and SWATH design is like two submarine's linked together from the sail.

To make it even more simpler, this new 991 AGI (presumably) is a SWATH ship and 022 is more of normal catamaran (tough wave-piercing design but thats not related to the differences of SWATH and normal catamaran)

My goodness!:eek:.. the 991 sure looks like the USNS Effective (T-AGOS 21). Which is an ocean survey ship manned by civillians and USN personnel.

I guess now we can update those PLAN ship pages and call the 18-tube MLR "Type 726-4 Decoy Launcher". hehehe.

Re: PLAN Pictures Thread 4

There is an overwhelming amount of pictures here taken inside the 168. Almost like nothing is missed, even the mess halls are photoed. Are there any British based SDF members that look those in the pictures?
