And didn't we have an official report of a new kind of modified 093 that has been delivered recently?

Really? Could you please enlighten me...

The submarine was built at the Dalian shipyard

Isn't this a totally made up story though?

It was first reported by an official news channel, but it's suspected to be related to the Type 09IIIB rather than the Type 09V that everybody had initially suspected.

http://eng.chinamil.com.cn/view/2017-09/21/content_7764453.htm

So, as of now, the PLAN has three variants of the Type 09III: the original 09III version, the Type 09IIIA (shown in the parade), and the Type 09IIIB with VLS.

Guys, please talk the sub things in its dedicated thread: https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/chinas-submarine-fleet-evolution-news.302638/page-45

It is not cool to open 052D thread only to read sub talks.

I will reply in the sub thread later. Could a mod please move the offtopic posts to the correct thread. Thanks

A question for members here.....as has been stated the newer 052D's will have an extended flight deck, and maybe some other improvements, but from what boat number in the class are these improvements being made to?...........and i presume that these vessels will still be called the 052D and not 052E, is that correct?

Pending official disclosure, we may call it 052D1 (as in 053H2 frigate) for our own identification purpose. The changes is too small to call it 052E.

I like the original design (first one) of the emblem for 155 much better!

Eight units in service according to Wikipedia (ZH). Guiyang #119 is said to arrive in the middle of 2018. Let's see its accuracy then
