So, guys at HSH claim that the improved Type 094, boats 3 and 4, have 16 silos.

Re: PLAN submarines Thread II
Great picture indeed, but when i see so many SSK in port it asks one question, what are they doing in port, they should be out on patrols! but makes for a good photo shot anyway
i believe the Chinese SSK will work with the Second Artillary Corps and PLAAF in a Taiwan attack, where the Artillary Corps and PLAAF are tasked to take down and destroy Taiwans defence to establish a secure Taiwan Strait which will allow the Navy to transport the PLA across the Taiwan straits
the SSK will form a safety net beyond Taiwan to stop any USN assets reaching Taiwan, like a defensive ring under water to face USN SSN, which would be sailing well ahead of any US carrier strike group
this is why i say, the Type 071 LPD, Type 072 III and Zubrs etc will be for the 12,000 PLAN Marines made up of two brigades which are for island and reef defences etc and not part of a Taiwan invasion force

there are either 8 or 10 Yuan in this flotilla. So, the other 2 to 4 could be out on patrols.

In addition to that, photographers wouldn't bother to take pictures when there is only a few or no submarine. People are far more interested in the hardware than in whether the PLAN's submarines go out for training. It should be of no surprise that most pictures show a lot of submarines in the base.

Some online talk right now... so have it with some salt
Four 093B are planned. One was built last year and 2-4 are in various stages of construction. It might include some "fourth generation" systems.
096 might be launched in July 2014
095 might enter construction phase 2013 or 2014

Re: ¦^��: PLAN submarines Thread II
My impression was that two of them had already been launched.
Also, FYI, the phrase is, "take it with a grain of salt," meaning don't put too much confidence in it.
However, in this case, given the sources I have heard it from, I think it is probable.
US Military analysts have reported for some time that the first two 093s were not quiet enough for the PLAN and that some changes were made to improve them and that four of this improved version would be built.

I think the major question here is whether the 093B and 095 are the same boat or not, and whether the improved 094 with 16 SLBM and 096 are the same thing or not.
But until we get official confirmation or photographs of the thing, we should all remain somewhat suspicious.

well, the "improved" 094 that was seen in kanwa's photo still only had 12 SLBMs. So, I'm not sure when this 16 SLBM SSBN will come out.
