Re: PLAN submarines Thread II
can you post a picture of it? There is a new 093B that we have seen pictures of, so that could possibly be it.

Re: PLAN submarines Thread II
you can put them on an image server on line like imageshack and then post the text links here with spaces between www, that should get through. You have my permission to do this since it's related to this thread.
To be able to post links or images your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 4 posts.
that's what they say
try Google Earth or Wikimapia till I have ten

The Jin Class (Type 094) is 133m long, or 436.5 ft.
The Shang Class (Type 093) is 110m or 361 ft long. There is an improved Type 093 design, I believe it is still designated the Shang Class and that the hull is basically the same except with improved tiling, quieting and sound suprression. Do not know if the pic you shpow is the Type 093 or the improved variety.
Apparently only two Type 093 were built, then 4 or more improved Type 093.
I believe the PLAN is now working on the the Type 095. Two of them may have already been launched and in trials. They apparently do have a new hull.
The Han Class (Type 091) is 98m long, or 321.5 ft.
The Jin Class (Type 094) is 133m long, or 436.5 ft.

Re: PLAN submarines Thread II
Thank you all! Bing Maps gives a really better picture (switch from Birds Eye to Areal) than Google Earth, though lacks measurement tool, unfortunately. Therefore approximate length of the new boat may be about 106 meters. And I have a feeling seeing a towed array dispenser similar to that of the Russian Akula-III class boat? Vertical fin ending looks longer and thicker than that of the 094 next to it. First time in PLAN?

It tracks them and explains what Huludao Shipyard has been doing, with notes and references to what intelligence believes they are:
There is a very good explanation of the two subs and their history at the following site:

Re: PLAN submarines Thread II
With all due respect to you sir and OSINT (which contains only known info), I dare to draw your attention to the two major observation from my previous post:
a) OSINT is wrong with the length of the boat calculation;
b) TAS? The more I look the more I'm sure.
I can hardly expect a version of the type to be shorter. Presence of TAS(?) might be another feature of a new type.
Google Earth provides historical imagery of the shipyard #431 from 2013, 2010, 2009, 2007.

If that is a Type 093 modified SSN, then the SSN is longer than they think.
I posted the info here to give a full description of what they had to say to go along with the pictures posted from their site.
Oh, I agree with the inaccurate length.

Re: PLAN submarines Thread II
I really appreciate your efforts to clear the problem. I find it inconvenient this sub thread being so general instead of a logical break into categories by type or basing or otherwise. Or a separate thread with all/only pictures of the subs and basic dimensions assembled in collections to help identification
