It sounds like its all a collection of stuff that has been posted, articled and rumored before from all different sources.

There is something wrong about the thread with relations to the forum software. Even after new posts, the thread does not up the list or show new posts. It also shows this strange white line below.

test test. Oh now the thread has gone up.

I am not sure these pics are new or old, because in early this year,there was one pic in many forum,it was the image about PLAN sub in Wuhan ship yard floating dock,I can't remember the difference.

Aerial view of an 094. It looks very similar to a Delta IV from this point of view, although the Delta's snout is considerably longer than this one.

Are you sure that isnt a Delta III or IV. Looks very much like it.

I guess from the tail it is a Delta class indeed. The 094 looks very similar but the tail rudder should be squared not triangled like this one.

[Roger604]

The hump of the Delta III is sooo much more prominent than the Type 094. It's much more smoothly integrated into the rest of the hull on the Type 94.

sorry,maybe it's only my personal feeling, the pic looks like Psed.

Its not a PS. Its really a Delta IV class.

I think he was referring to that aerial shot of 094, somehow the color of that photo looked odd to me too.

Some nice updates for a change in GE, showing new pics of the Jianggezhuang base.

From left to right, based on their actual locations, first photo

A. SSN - 98m to the rudder, 100m + including propeller.
B. SSN - same as above, slightly longer?
C. SSBN - 120m
D. SSN - Same as B.
E. SSN - roughly 89 to 90m
F. SSN - same as E.

If I were to tag it, A, B, and D are 093s, C is the Xia out of its refit, and E and F are improved 091.

On the second picture, which is the mosaic,

Upper left picture, shows the two 90m subs.

Lower left picture shows the boomer.

Upper right picture shows two 100m subs

Lower right picture shows one 100m sub.

The one on upper right with the two subs, it seems like the lower one is wider than the top one, possibly indicating a different variant of the class. Also, this indicates that there are 3 093s in sea trial at least.
