I was once told by someone that the basic structure of ships of one origin are different from other origin ships. The change over can require half a-decade to get used to for staff. Hence countries go on and stick to one or two suppliers for their needs. I suspect the same holds true for PN Subs which have previously been French but now Chinese. So there is sense in the Yuan for training and acclimatization for staff. Later on it could be upgraded to comply with our requirements or just kept for basic sub training.
Either case we are looking at an unprecedented boom in PN acquisition and may Allah azza-wa Jal make these plans come true. We need this to guard our supply lines and most importantly our off shore oil drilling facilities before we establish those.
Yeah, with 11 AIP equipped subs soon, the Arabian sea will be a very very busy place, not even taking into account how many attack subs the Chinese will be having there once we operationalise a sub base for them...
