Chinese SSBN Floating En Route to Major Overhaul in Huludao: Legislator Chen Yongkang

Reported 8 months ago

Legislator Chen Yongkang stated that a Chinese 094 nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) was seen floating en route to a major overhaul in Huludao, as witnessed by fishermen in Penghu who noticed the submarine passing through Taiwanese waters. The submarine was clarified by former Navy Commander and current legislator Chen Yongkang, with many questioning its power source leading to the floating appearance. Huludao Shipyard in Bohai is where Chinese nuclear submarines are built, and they return there for major repairs every few years. The submarine may have unloaded its missiles in Sanya, according to the evaluation based on its floating ratio above water.
