China Combat Submarines Luis Ayala

Printed in COLOR - Updated 30 June 2021 to add Type 39C and 39D, and on 3 July 2021 to add PLA Navy Torpedo Specifications. (with some RUMINT).
We decided to research the submarines under development in China for the PLA Navy and found a lot of variation as to what the Type 96, Type 97 and Type 98 submarines would look like so we went with what was most recent. Although the specs are closely held secret, there were some clues. Anyway, this is what we think they will look like when they are finally built. We included information on Type 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 32, 35, 39 and Kilo submarines. The Type 32 is essentially a test bed for new technologies, but we included it for your information. The information contained in the book is believed to be factual, however there is a lot of disinformation on this subject in open source material, so we used our best judgement based on the best available information. If you see anything that needs to be corrected, please contact us on our web site: https: //usgovpub.com and we will make the necessary corrections. Really flattered that someone in the PLA would take the time to give us one red star. Their grammar is a dead give-away. Thank you.
