Hi,
We here only discuss USN, submarines which offcourse
Ahead of Chinese category, but how about detecting
USN submarines with the Chinese developed submarine
Hunting gadgets
I would say Chinese are behind US submarines, but their
Hunting skills are very much next to their counterpart in
South China Sea
Thank you

Defense acquisitions are not hindered by budgetary constraints; the three armed forces' shopping lists from 2015 onward are self-expanding and revolve around what fits the doctrine.

Given that PN is in advance stage of finalizing the type/design for its shallow water SSPs (Fincantieri S-1000), type 41 - SSK-N is the ideal option as it fulfils the requirements of the three layer defense by employing ultramodern/modern SSPs, SSKs, SSK-Ns in three distinct tonnage categories (Light, Medium, and Heavy).

- S1000 - Shallow Water AIP-SSP (Light)
- A90Bs - SSKs (Light/Medium)
- 039Bs - SSKs (Medium)
- 041?? - SSK/N (Medium/Heavy)

IMO, with above said (if accomplished) there isn't any need of heavy SSN.

Is pn going for s1000 for sure
