Tom Shughart now saying on X that the new 041 Zhao class (if that's what it is) has twin towed arrays, a first for PLAN subs.
The one good thing to come out of this whole "dredged" up story in the high-res image above.
What is the point of two towed array? The array in a line will get dragged by the sub through the water, what benefits are there to have two wires dragged behind the sub?
