pictures of 093. I don't think we've ever got it from this angle (talking about the first photo).

As for the AP article, that's really not saying much. It's just continually trying to tie up all the previous incidences in one. There really isn't enough good articles out there on this.

Nic pic. All the recent news probably help the USN get a bigger budget to counter the so call Chinese military threats.

I think the first one is a 091.

actually, you are right. I wonder why the person that posted it said it's 093!

Its a modded 091. One way you can tell its a 091G (improved) is that they redid the entire limber hole line on the hull.

Keep in mind a lot of these military journalists have never served a day in any military organization and often get the details spectacularly wrong. I'm still chuckling over an article in Defense Industry News about EMALS, and how, if it failed, the French would not be able to put steam catapults on their new carrier, assuming the ship must be steam powered to operate a steam catapult. The French ship will be gas turbine powered. The French ship will indeed have a pair of US made steam cats, each powered by dedicated boiler, just as it would when installed in a US carrier for the simple reason that they operate at a far higher pressure than any ship's boiler does. Even the big nukes have these boilers, especially the nukes, because these have a water to water heat exchange, meaning very low pressure wet steam. Don't take everything you read in these articles seriously. These are money making enterprises.

Of course one has to distinguish between articles written by certain ex-army officials or more experienced military watchers or military analysts and journalists who writes articles based on more professional articles or just some bs analysis based on a quote, a piece of metal or something like that.

All articles could just be bs or a stroke of genious. One has to keep the possibility open.

I think someone took this from the tourist area at Sanya. You can see a 093 and a 094 there. It's shockingly easy for anyone to see these submarines.

They just want you folks to see or leak them out.

Shouldn't these guys be in the cave? Isn't it part of security to have your ballistic subs in the cave enclosure than to leave them out in the open like that?

kinda of freaky when you think that any guy using air tanks can swim under water from that beach area to the sub and plant an explosive.
