Re: PLAN submarines Thread II
Any nuclear sub is designed to be operate from far ashore. This included Chinese nuclear sub. Unless you are talking about replenish ammunition and food which will only be the factor limiting the nuclear sub endurance.
Pakistan requirment is for a submarine which can operate far from home shores and work completely independently, currently no nuclear Chinese submarine fulfills this requirment
Pakistan submariners are risk takers and brave, in 1971 war Pakistan submarine scored first submarine kill since WWII when PNS Hangor sunk ASW frigate INS Khukri and damaged INS Kirpan, the PNS Ghazi was sent thousands of miles away to to the bay of bengal to hunt down the lone Indian aircraft carrier
If Pakistan navy gets a SSN it will be tasked to hunt down Indian aircraft carriers and disturb Indian naval operations as much as possible
