new chinese submarine spotted. at a glance the most notorious changes are a new x-shaped rudder and a small protrusion housing a submersible (evac?) vehicle.supposed to be mostly autonomous but still has a reduced crew for maintenance and critical decision-making.
>>64406563Is that the same one that sunk?
>>64406574probably the same class
>>64406574It didn’t sink and shugart is a moron. Wuhan doesn’t build or handle nuke subs.
>>64407452>It didn’t sinkwe prefer the term "permanently submerged"
That's probably is their riverine submarine. Don't expect a lot of those.
>>64406574How does a submarine sink?
>>64406563the protrusion is likely for special forces delivery or near bottom operations, X shaped rudder allows the submarine to rest on the seabed or go into shallow waters closer to the shore

>>64406563As a friendly reminder there have only been two torpedo kills by submarines against warships since WW2, one was by the UK and the other by the DPRK.
>>64407880>muh NorkKys tripfag.
>>64407957Shut up fag, of all the tripfags, norktard is one of the better ones. At least he isn't mandick or some of the other retarded fags who've been ran out of here.
>>64407981Why'd you turn off your tripcode if you love attention whoring so much? I don't understand.
>>64407981>>64407957My statement was factually correct, i used my tripcode because no one else but me would have pointed it out in the way i did so hiding my identity was pointless.>>64407989That person wasn't me, that is why i use it. So people like you don't accuse others of being me or attributing thing to me that i didn't actually say.That said:>>64407981Thanks bro. I don't expect support but when i get it i really appreciate the fact that i have friends that i have never met and probably never will. I don't know who you are but i consider you a decent person who i would be happy to call a friend if we ever met IRL.
>>64408149It only comes up every time torpedo programs post WWII comes up. About once a month to 6 weeks.You're not "hiding your identity" when you don't use the trip. Using your identity is pointless. In fact this particular instance would be a violation.Any random pro-nork or pro-thirdie sounds just like you.All that being said you know for a fact the NK torpedo in question has a damage pattern inconsistent with an even snapping of the vertical keel and deck pressure plates. That's a mine, found here:https://www.andrewerickson.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/China-Maritime-Study-3_Chinese-Mine-Warfare_Erickson-Goldstein-Murray_200906.pdfThe british report was wrong, and so were Sork investigators. We dropped it because implicating China was unproductive and the mines are all old.
>>64406563Detachable sails offer evac without the drag penalty of an externally mounted sub, my money is on a special ops micro sub for tapping cables, blowing pipelines inserting teams etc.
>>64407452>Wuhan doesn’t build or handle nuke subs.Then it's even more pathetic. Despite all the implessive boastings, china can't move beyond Sterling AIP or low-power micro reactor, which is even worse than russian sub tech.Kinda make sense why they haven't been showing off their submarine force anywhere near as much as their implessive carrier. Grim, even fucking merkel germany got more blue water operating experience than them.
>>64407981The norktard even got that name like half a year before he started to use it as nick.>I was the first calling him like that but others began to do the same soon
>>64407862The screen door was shut.
>>64408149>i have friends that i have never met and probably never will.They aren't friends if they aren't acquainted.
>>64407981>mandick Who ?
>>64408410Wtf are you talking about?
>>64411687some yugo.
>>64408410>Despite all the implessive boastings, china can't move beyond Sterling AIP or low-power micro reactor, which is even worse than russian sub tech.Stirling AIP is still state of the art, and micro reactor is next gen state of the art. Russia has neither of these. You are a LLM shitbot. Chinks have invested a lot in liquid salt reactors, these can be made smaller than conventional PWR reactors, meaning that they could potentially replace their 2000 ton diesels with 2000 ton nuke subs or even smaller nukes.
>>64407452>>64408410Wuhan!? Why would there be a submarine base there? It's way inland.
>>64412551Wuhan builds a portion of the Chinese SSK fleet. But Shugart doesn’t know that so when he saw a shadow he made some stupid shit up
>>64411687Lick my mandick.
>>64412266>You are a LLM shitbot>stirling is still sota >everything i dont like has to be a zogmutt shill ! Way to oust urself, chinkyAlso, cute cope, but there’s a reason why japs forgoes sterling on their latest subs. >t. Pic relatedBulky, hugely inefficient and with the associated noises just doesn’t worth it.And, considering the amount of EV trashes chink shat out to the whole world, it hard to stop noticing they haven’t managed to showcase their own indigenous LIB, i guess it’s hard for chink to actually make good LIB that doesn’t have incinerating anything right next to it as a built-in feature, something too common with chink EV trashes ? :^)>Chinks have invested a lot in liquid salt reactors, these can be made smaller than conventional PWR reactors, meaning that they could potentially replace their 2000 ton diesels with 2000 ton nuke subs or even smaller nukes.Except that’s what both the Soviet and USN already tried in the 60s/70s, and it resulted in low single digit MW output for the reactor. So what chinkshills are boasting is simply going down the same route other nuclear naval powers has tried, and deemed not worth the time.Pic related again, the fuel cell+reformer combo is shown to have to best volumetric energy density. PEMFC are getting better with size optimization with every generation, you can easily put 20-30 modules, along with large methanol and lox tanks to achieve the similar power output and endurance of chinky low power reactor, which isn’t even meant to do anything other than charge the batteries onboard.So, yeah, chinky is still way behind in submarine tech, and it’s for no reason why there hasn’t been as many implessive(purposely) “leak” on their submarine force compare to chink carriers
>>64411687i envy your ignorance
>>64406563I wouldn't get into a chinese submarine, """autonamous""" or otherwise, for all the tea in china.
