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.

Oh so he posted something on a Chinese submarine thread and puts out similies with the pic like its not one of China's then? And I knew that it couldn't be China's because it has numbers on the sail. Something we haven't seen on modern Chinese subs.

Nice! Peng Shilu would have been proud with the progress made so far. But we must work harder to close the gap with the west.

Potential Indicators of China‘s Next Generation Nuclear Submarines

by Richard Fisher, Jr.

Published on June 30th, 2014

While China抯 People抯 Liberation Army (PLA) has gradually embraced transparency in many spheres of its military endeavors, there are a large number of issues and programs that remain closely guarded and one of these is its future nuclear submarines. However, one popular tool the PLA uses to convey limited information about some military programs is to use models. A large outdoor model of a next generation nuclear attack submarine (SSN) has appeared at the People抯 Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) Submarine Academy in Qingdao, China. The role of this model may simply be to inspire the Academy抯 students, but it may signify a larger personnel investment by the PLAN to prepare for its next generation submarines, as it may also offer some indications about a new class of SSN.

093 SSN Subs:

The Type 093 could sail faster than the Type 054A.

 

[Beast]

The Type 093 could sail faster than the Type 054A.

30 knots probably or more.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

30 knots probably or more.

That's why it could be a bit noisy when it sails over 30 knots, it is common for every other SSNs.

BTW, the Type 095 could sail silently at 20 knots.
