Due to the opacity of Chinese submarine forces, It's not known how many Chinese SSBN/SSN are in active service and it's not known if the latest SSN095 SSBN096 are in service.

china nuclear submarine


Recently, according to a report published on “hisutton”, Google Earth’s commercial captured the photos of Chinese Navy’s 7 nuclear submarines at the Yulin Naval Base in Hainan, China. Judging from the time on the photo, it was taken on January 20, 2021, about 2 months ago. In addition, the nuclear submarine birth at Yulin Naval Base so its public, so these photos do not constitute a leak.

From the photos taken by Google earth, 4 out of 7 nuclear submarines are attack nuclear submarines and 3 are strategic missile nuclear submarines. Attacking nuclear submarines are mainly “Jin”-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines and “Han”-class attack nuclear submarines, while strategic missile nuclear submarines are “Shang”-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines. Tstrategic missile nuclear submarines are generally bigger than attack nuclear submarines.

Yulin Naval Base is part of the large-scale military base of the Chinese Navy in Sanya. The entire Sanya large-scale naval base is the “base camp” of the Chinese Navy’s South China Sea Fleet. After years of construction, the current large-scale naval base in Sanya has been relatively complete. In addition to the nuclear submarine base, it is also an important aircraft carrier base and destroyer base for the South China Sea Fleet of the Chinese Navy, and the H-6 bomber fleet and the J-16 in the surrounding supporting air force bases. The fleet can also go out to fight in the South China Sea at any time.

At present, the United States’ armed forces in the South China Sea are mainly the US Navy’s aircraft carrier battle group and nuclear submarine force, in addition to the long-range strategic bombers that took off from the Guam military base. Because the USS Ronald Reagan nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is stationed in Japan, the number of aircraft carriers that the U.S. Navy can call at will in the South China Sea is 2, plus the 15th nuclear submarine force deployed at the Guam military base. SO This is the complete strength of United States navy currently in the South China Sea.

Currently the main strentgh of China against US aircraft carriers in the South China Sea are China’s “DF-21D” anti-ship ballistic missiles and “DF-26” anti-ship ballistic missiles. Of course, the U.S. Navy thinks so too, so it has also begun to study countermeasures against China’s anti-ship ballistic missiles. For example, according to a report in the American “Modern Diplomacy” magazine, the U.S. Navy had deployed a “Los Angeles”-class cruise missile nuclear submarine capable of carrying 154 submarine-launched “Tomahawk” cruise missiles in the South China Sea. Countering China’s anti-ship ballistic missiles. And recently after 25 years US navy started to equipped their submarines with cruise missile.

Four SSBN in one picture ... there must be 2-4 in the ocean.
All 4 of these Submarines which can be seen in this picture are SSBNs because you notice the Missile Silo Humps on the Back of these Submarines.

By the way ,are these Type 094 / 094A submarines of PLAN?

The last news here in Europe about the chinese SSN accident are :
The sub fall in a chinese trap made against west subs.
All the crew is dead but the sub is afloat and damaged.
It is a least a possible explanation of the mysterious disappearance of the defense ministry.

That's convenient! Very shallow water so if a sub sunk, everyone from China to Taiwan to Korea to Japan to the US will be racing to site for salvage or recon :)

But if you say everyone died but sub is afloat then you have conveniently silly excuse as to why there is no actual sunk sub in those waters! :D

I only write what I've read.
The team died due to suffocation they add.

Yes, I was refering to report :)

A serious accident there can't be hidden since even if China had recovered the sub, there would be massive presence of Taiwanese, Korea, Japanese and US recording their salvage team.

You are right.
It is strange, and as always with China, the truth will be hard to discover.
