Don't think the sub is just coming out of the water considering the number of people up top.

Doesn't seem like the sea state is too bad either.

So my question is, does this sub actually travel on the surface with this pitch?

Any watercraft will need propeller immersion for obvious reasons.
That's why nose high position.
When submerged, these are even keel

This was my reference image, an Ohio class sub.

But I guess it's either the camera angle, or a different design philosophy.

Nuke subs are designed differently from their conventional counterparts

There isn't a 055 joining this exercise? I heard somewhere there're two Chinese 055 joining this exercise and perhaps head to Persian Gulf for some business there.

The closing ceremony of the Sea Guardian-2023, a bilateral naval exercise conducted in Karachi and the North Arabian Sea between the Pakistan Navy and the Chinese Navy was held at the Pakistan Navy Dockyard on Friday, attended by a large number of officials from both the navies.

Six units of Chinese People’s Liberation Army (Navy), including destroyer, frigates, submarine, oil tanker and rescue ship, along with a detachment of the marines participated in the war games, a Pakistan Navy news release said.

The exercise included operational manoeuvres, encompassing major facets of the anti-surface, anti-air, mine warfare and special operations in simulated multi-threat environment, to provide optimum training value, the news release added.

Concurrent to the Chinese ships' visit, Qingdao Naval Base Commander Rear Admiral Liang Yang also visited Pakistan. Rear Admiral Liang also held meetings with senior Pakistan Navy officials and discussed with them the matters of bilateral naval collaboration and regional maritime security.

“Exercise Sea Guardian-2023 proved mutually rewarding to hone professional skills of the two navies and a forum to learn from each other's experiences,” the news release said. “Regular conduct of bilateral naval exercise is a manifestation of mutual resolve to further enhance bilateral cooperation.”

Quite a message to India.......

India is being surrounded from all sides....

And, the most of these platforms along with their ammo can be traded in yuan...

Only the "Last Afgans" can be purchased with indian rupees...
