There must be a hell of a lot underwater that can’t be seen. It certainly doesn’t look very long from nose to tailfin. Maybe one hell of a big girth.

China’s advance in technology not to be sneered at.

Sponsored by EBT cards paid chinese poison food.
Nice.
What Tsarnaev did with $200000 in welfare, back in pockets of a politician. Nah, no special interest there, just collusion and corruption preference treatment.

Looks like a copy of the Kursk.

The french submarine "Surcouf" looked more impressive but comes in at only 3,304 tons which is only half of this one. There must bee a lot of the vessel still submerged. Please note -
the Surcouf had a watertight seaplane hangar on it's deck.
The Surcouf at sea.

Another name for the “worlds largest conventional submarine” would be “target”.

Another name for the worlds largest conventional submarine would be target. Not necessarily. While they're limited in range to mostly coastal operations, diesel-electrics can be among the quietest subs in terms of propulsion-related noise.

This is the pic from the article,, think you may have posted a pic of a "Golf Class" Cause this is most different sub, note the placement of the "Dive Planes" on the sail

Coastal operations? Diesel electrics spanned the world in WW2.

Most of that bulb on deck is actually the gun turret.

Diesel electrics spanned the world in WW2.But they could only make decent speed running on the surface, where the diesels could breathe. They had to constantly be on the lookout for enemy aircraft, and dive before they were spotted. I suspect modern satellite imaging would make them sitting ducks in open water.

Diesel electrics spanned the world in WW2. Yes, that's true, and they could theoretically span the world now. That said, it requires much more in the way of logistics--getting fuel to run those diesels. Plus, the need to run those diesels periodically makes the sub vulnerable and on the surface.
And while technically possible to go global, there's a much bigger impact on the crew, working on a D/E sub on such a basis. There are less "amenities" like fresh water available, perhaps video games and TV, eating conditions and the quality of food are less.
