Re: PLAN submarines Thread II

This is significant; seems that the Navy has officially declassified its SSBNs, the most secretive weapon. This means that the next generation Type 096 is very near completion.

you guys be the judge on this one, but I think all 8 in this picture of 22nd flotilla are Yuan.

Wow, that's a lot of sub mooring there! What are the building behind them? Resident building or naval camp?

Not necessarily. We have seem photos of type 094 for years. Doesnt mean much regarding type 096 (if it exists at all).

Besides, it doesnt look like its an oficial photo (but i could be wrong). Can anyone confirm that type 094 has been officially declassified?

Didn't the Type 094 appear in a military magazine?

Great pic of eight Yuans. They are very decent SSKs and a credible threat in littoral waters or any choke point.

The Subs Were Independently Confirmed

Excellent! But the two pics do not exactly line up. From left to right in A.Man's pic the subs are at docks in this order: 1-2-1-2-2. But in Tphuang's pic from left to right, they are in this oredr: 1-2-2-2-1. So, different pics at least at different times.

Anyhow, they both are very nice sequence pics showing all of those Yuans.

How do we know some submarines are not out at sea?

Also it's a bit strange how all are in port at all at the same time!? Why would that be

Also how many Yuans are in service
