The submarines were shown as taking part in exercises along with naval ships and helicopters. The drill is the first open-sea drill in which maritime and air forces from all three of China's fleets have taken part, a state-run news agency reported.
...
Though the media has not revealed the numbers of nuclear subs, international defence experts estimate it has eight to 10 subs backed by 50 to 60 diesel and electric submarines. The strength of the Chinese navy was estimated to be around 2.25 lakh personnel.
The decision to display N-Subs for the first time shows China's confidence in the defence build-up and capability, defence analysts said. It also demonstrates the transparency of China's nuclear assets, which the west is demonstrating for long, they said.

Were they stamped on the bottom “Made in China”? or West Germany? or Russia? (and a substamp saying “Technology from America”)?
To: Pan_Yan
Are they made out of defective Chinese materials? Or did they save the good stuff for these? Watch and see if they dissolve at sea.

Looks like it was modeled after an old Russian design.

That’s the standard procedure, but you never know what the level of incompetence is. if they weren’t idiots, they probably wouldn’t be communists in the first place.

I do not see this subject as comical. China having missile boats is something to take seriously.
