PLAN submarines Thread II

So that means the Qing class would be much larger than kilo class as well? An ocean going quite diesel sub?

At least 1.5 to 2 times larger depending on the kilos loadout.

As far as I know it is a SSK. And I think it would be around 6000 tons. Its dimensions certainly reflect that more. And Chinese nuclear subs get bigger every time not smaller.

6,000 ton for SSK ... that's huge, even 093 is less than that

No the 093 is bigger. It is 6000-7000 tons.

The Fit & Finish of Chinese New Sub's Have Being Improved Very Much Over the Years

[tanlixiang28776]

Yeah and thats not even the newest one.

yeahhh, but it's only the look, no differences in capabilities

That Chinese nuclear sub get bigger every time is a rule, not a law.

[kroko]

Big isn't it? The Qing class on the left is enormous for an SSK

cant see image

[kroko]

uh...can anyone post that image?

[franco-russe]

Try GE, coordinates 30 32 06 N 114 17 03 E, and you will get the full picture for yourself.

I now see it. It seems too small for a SSN. But i doubt that it has 6000 tons. the new Soryu class of japan is almost as big (84*9.1meters vs quing? 90*9.8) and it has 4200 tons submerged.

[delft]

So, as the shape will be about the same, a Qing would be about 5200 tons.

The Soryu you are talking about has known dimensions. I assume your measurement for the Qing is for the part that is not submerged only. So adjust that a little more.

Lets assume 92-95 meters by 9.8 to 10.5 meters for the fully exposed Qing. Increase in height is presumed as well.

Changes in dimensions like that would make the Qing have far larger displacement hence my 6000 figure. perhaps I should have said 5500 to 6500 tons submerged instead.

Qing should have similar pattern to Yuan besides the tower which is at least twice as large



Here is a 7000 ton 110 meter by 10 meter Los Angelos class for comparison as well.

[Skywatcher]

At 6500 tons, the Qing should be bigger than the IJN's I-400 submersible aircraft carrier.
