Do Chinese submarines usually have numbers on the sail? First time I've seen something like that.

How about now? Can you post any pics with sail numbers on modern subs? If not I'm not surprised and that pic he posted is a fake.

He posted the picture with-out any narrative, so the nationality of the sub was not identified and no implication that is is a Chinese sub. As I know current Japanese submarines have numbers painted on their sails, so it is likely a Japanese sub, Posters who responded to the picture simply thought that this is a Chinese sub. Take another hint - the back ground do not look like typical Chinese shore around PLAN sub base.

Old subs ever paint numbers on the sail, recently new subs like 039/039B,093,094 etc not again.

That pic is PSed, not real.
