I think this new photo pretty much proves the existence of this new sub.

I agree, looks quite different from Yuan class...

I dont know why, i cant load that image...

its the same photo of the sub as the ones we have already seen but the background is different. is this the original background?

My impression. or those limber holes seem huge? they are certainly not similar to either yuan or kilo. If so, why do you think they did that?

Improved version based on their operating experience of the older designs?

Perhaps submarine designers will be able to shed more light. Otherwise, I doubt PLAN will release details as to why certain features are like that on their subs. Heck, I'm not even sure if any navies even release such details on their subs.

So, I'd take it that it was a rhetorical question.

of course, still waiting for more news and photo on this, but here is a new photo of the tail section. Not really showing that much more.

Wow I certainly hope that drawing is accurate; a pump jet/shrouded propeller will be indicative that they're progressing in their propulsion systems (it's what all the popular submarines are using ) to an extent; though the quietness levels obviously doesn't only depend on a shroud.

But also pump jets look waaay cool.

I think this is same photo of tphuang's post, but this is full view of photo,and we only see the tail portion, I think we will see the whole new submarine very soon.
and I saw in the chines forum some body called this new sub " Tan class ", or 039B?

Does anyone knows what are those white-and-red sticks for?

There is a UFO in the picture

With flying saucer in the sky too ! You know China has made it when the 'grays' show up.

In the same photos of the sub I see a thing in the sky. What is it? Airship, free ballon?
It is surely very big...
Thank You
