Re: PLAN submarines Thread II


According to one Chinese source the modified Yuan Class sub has been designated as the Qing Class sub. It has no big hump in the hull.

Regardless of its designation, there is a big hump below the sail.

I don't see any big hump, what I see is the normal surface deck of a submarine. Every submarine has this kind of surface deck, it is nothing unusual. BTW, what is the submerged displacement of this vessel? It looks pretty big.

Clearly you're not reading correctly either.

In both my post and kroko's it was made clear the hump was below the sail. That is on the underside of the submarine.

And there's no need to bold your entire post.

I use bold texts, that's a kind of signature, if you don't mind.

Well I'm quite certain there's something about bolding entire posts for no reason in the forum rules, but okay.

The effect is akin to posting entirely in caps lock

It may or may not be a hump. The pointed blue pylons give it an illusion of a hump in the middle under the submarine when several of them are lowered. Need more pics to be sure.

Err ... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the submarine's propulsion system suppose to be classified? What I meant was the fan which is at the end of the Submarine, the number of fan-blades is suppose to be classified?

If that is the case, then I would caution our Chinese friends that the red cover really doesn't do much to conceal the amount of blades on the propulsion system of the submarine.

At least that is what I know about submarines to be of valuable intel in warfare.

Correct me if I'm wrong, very recently I have read a Chinese article saying how the improvement in basic military equipment bettered the lives of PLA servicemen. One of the examples was how special ear-muffs could filter out irritating loud noises from the engine room in the submarine, filtering only the very high and low frequency noises, while allowing human voices to be heard without having to speak louder.

If my memory serves me correctly, the latest US submarines are so quite that even signs were attached to walls, notifying the sailors to walk in careful manner to not create extra noises.

If you have to wear ear muffs in the engine room, I wonder how loud the acoustic signature would be.... Also how far ahead the US counterparts are in noise reduction field......
