DL's Type 052D looks slightly different from JN's.

Maybe we shall see how it looks after the deployment.

China continues to invest in carrier support capabilities

China's investment in its aircraft carrier programme continues with the construction of a second Daguan-class auxiliary ship.

The first of class, Xu Xiake (pennant number 88), was introduced into service in 2011 and has accompanied the carrier Liaoning on all of its sea trials.

The Daguan-class ships are 196 m long, have a beam of 28 m, and an estimated full-load displacement of about 30,000 tonnes. The vessels have the appearance of a passenger ship and their primary function is to accompany an aircraft carrier during its sea trials and provide accommodation for up to 2,500 support personnel.

The flight deck above the ships' aft superstructure is capable of operating a medium-sized helicopter such as the Super Frelon-derived Z-8, which can carry up to 27 passengers.

Progress on the People's Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN's) new Type 901 large combat support ship, which is expected to provide underway logistics support to PLAN carriers and their accompanying escorts, is now at an advanced stage. The first Type 901 is under construction at the Longxue shipyard of Guangzhou Shipbuilding International (GSI) and was launched in December 2015.

New photographs show that installation of sensors and weapons is progressing, with radomes for satcom antennas and four AK-630 close-in weapon system mountings now in position. The ship is expected to displace over 40,000 tonnes and to be propelled by gas turbines.

Four replenishment gantries are installed on the port side of the ship and three on the starboard side. The second gantry on each side is for solids transfer (food, stores, and ammunition), while the remainder are configured for liquids (fuel oil and aviation fuel).

Chinese military media have recently reported that another batch of six pilots have qualified to operate Shenyang J-15 fighters from carriers and were presented with awards by Deputy Commander of the Navy Vice Admiral Ding Yi at a ceremony on board Liaoning.

Here the information about China's new assembly factory for the nuclear sub: 288 meters long and 135 meters wide, and it contains 3 assembly lines.

It means this new factory can simultaneously build three 20,000+ tons SSBNs or six 10,000+ tons SSNs. These guys are definitely Type 095/096.

China currently has no plan to retire the old assembly lines, I assume it will stay there to build the remaining Type 093B.

The only question is will China stop at just
matching the US in military might or go even higher?

US is no long-term threat as most of it's population
growth is Blacks and Hispanics. Only the White
population can be considered a peer to Chinese.

Well, I won't generalize that so quickly. If the Blacks and Hispanics could quickly upgrade themselves into the inner circle of the Anglo-Americans, then the US will remain there a bit longer. If they remain with the ghetto mentality, the White America still treats them like outsiders, meanwhile the new generation of Anglo-Americans have also losing steam compared to their predecessors, then it is expected to see what will happen in the near future.

Back to the topic, the production capability of the US nowadays seem to be severely decreased compared to the Cold War era. Today, they commission one Virginia SSN per year with two assembly factories. In comparison, China can commission one Type 093B per year with the old assembly factory. With the new assembly factory adding there, I am sure the production capacity will be even greatly increased.

Dont think there will be peaceful co-existence as
there is already killings between police and blacks in US. Racial tension is there between different ethnic groups.

US became strong with 90% whites who worked together. The white population is now down to 70% and falling every year.

Here is the VLS modules of both Type 095 and Type 096.

I believe the JL-3 will maintain the range and payload of the DF-41, but its size will be largely miniaturized in order to fit into the Type 096.

Which one did you mean?

The type 096

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

The type 096

It will equip with the JL-3.

If the JL-3 is not ready, then it will temporarily patrol with the JL-2A.
