New submarine claimed to be new Type-093 was spotted few months ago, but it seems this new boat is actually shorter and fatter than other Type-093 submarines, and there is also odd hump in it's back. Is it another variant of Type-093 or Type-095?

Here is sat picture of Type-093... no humps.

At end of last year, we saw what appears to be a new type of attack sub coming out. Satellite pictures from Huludao earlier this year showed a new attack submarine and a new Type 094. This submarine was labeled as Improved Type 093 on Chinese forums. According to the latest report by the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, China began building first of 4 improved 093 SSN in 2012. This improved Type 093 looks on the satellite photo to be slightly shorter and wider than the original Type 093. From the overheard satellite photos, it looks like this new submarine has a “hump” (like the one on kilo & Yuan) and a possible TAS installation on the tail. I would imagine the new submarines would have more space across for passive noise reduction technology, newer active noise reduction technology as well as newer generation of nuclear reactor. With the improvement in China’s civilian nuclear technology from the late 90s to mid 2000s, it is possible the newer reactor would be a lot quieter than the ones on the first two Type 093s.

could，should be the same sub with new general-purpose VLS that returned from sea trials a couple of weeks or months back。

The 90th squad of Unit 92730(responsible for n-sub sea trials)，has been awarded a First-Class Merit citation by President Xi:

That is an upgraded 093 submarine, not a SSBN.

Didn't you say that the general purpose sub is yet to launch in 7 months? Where did you get this information and who wrote it?

OK, here is my personal prediction of PLAN's future submarine program. Feel free to comment.

- 2 Type 093 basic level submarine
- 4 Type 093 upgraded submarine, first one launched in 2013, others might do so later
- Type 095 to enter construction phase in 2014, launch in 2015
- Type 096 to launch in 2014
- Four Type 094 are built, one of which is an improved variant

All of these are based on rumors, facts, big shrimp talk, and US intelligence reports.

There are 2 types SSN and SSBN，both equipped with the new VLS，with the latter due for launch in 2014.

Why did the tail is so weir?

And who said that it will launch in 2014? Why would a SSN have a VLS capable of firing SLBM?

Maybe those VLS could be for Anti-ship missiles.

probably viewing distortion or something similar to these propeller designs?

Looks similar to the Seawolf and Virginia.

Amazing and well done china)Keep it up

Yes, currently Chinese Submarines are noisy and still working on AIP to reduce noises. I don't know the true about 30 minutes but Chinese know the plans.

indeed! americans had made a lot more noise than our diesel sub after this incident - 7 years ago!

Our subs made a mockery of the Yankee 'detection' capabilities. Just like Serbia humiliated the Yankee F-117 'stealth' plane.
Not to mention how we humiliated the 'unbeatable' Yankee military in the Korean War. Just goes to show the Yankee military is more about hype than actual capabilities.

Check the headline of this professional navy magazine.

In fact, the PLAN nuclear subs have encountered their boomers underwater many times, but every time they got toyed by the PLAN boomers, and this is the outcome.
