I think the PN is more qualified to decide of how many subs to buy.

Do you have any idea of the logistics and spares inventory to handle one class of vessel.
We already have 2 types of Subs and adding a 3rd one. No they are not they are very lazy to decide i agree every sub has it weakness and steanth if we buy all 8 of same class and if our enemy knew its core weakness we cant go back that is why if u r paying dollars pay it sensible and with other class our sailors get chance to train their skills on different type of subs

Then the crew qualifications come into effect. Training hours required for the crew for each type.
There are numerous factors involved.



Just an example....
The USN has 53 attack subs and out of this 39 are of one class (Los Angeles).
All 14 boomers are Ohio Class.
 
correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the Navy procuring 6 Chinese and 2 western subs? This also makes more sense since the navy seemingly intends to keep a blend of both chinese and western sub fleet.
 
and what's the wisdom behind that?

Doesn't it make more sense to have the same platform? standard training fro crew, ease of logistics, ease in maintenance, less inventory of spares, same weapon systems, more flexibility in terms of crew postings, spare use, etc. etc. to name a few basics


Only 4 should be from one class and other 4 some other class. May be new Type 32
 
Timely visit by the Yuan?

With an ever expanding submarine fleet,it looks though the PN would also need to acquire a number of submarine tenders。
 
2 augosta-70 will be out of game then sir
why do i have the feeling that the PN does not care about retiring two subs . and the s20 is going to happen but the question is when? and how many there are too many reports of either 8 or 6 can any confirm the numbers being procured?
