Although I have not attempted to do any GE measurement of Yuan that I  had done with 093 class, I find his assessment on the size of the Yuan  submarine to be well done.  I previously would have estimated the ratio  of Yuan&#8217;s beam to that of Song at higher than 8.4 to 7.5 based on  photos, but he uses a very thorough approach, so I will accept his  numbers until anything else comes up.<\/p>\n<p>On the topic of China using Yuan as an anti-ship cruise missile  platform, I think he is also on the money here vs the other USNI author.   At this point, China has put a lot of investment into different types  of torpedoes whereas much less noise have been made about submarine  launched anti-ship missiles, so I think their preferred method of attack  on surface ships is going to be through blowing a whole underneath  rather than hitting something on the midsection.  There have not been  any sighting of submarine launched anti-ship subsonic missile that&#8217;s  newer than YJ-82.  On top of that, it&#8217;s highly unlikely YJ-18 is  designed to be launched from torpedo tube.  With the specs of Chinese  navy&#8217;s new CCL VLS system, I think the diameter of YJ-18 is likely to be  larger than 53 cm which is the requirement to fit inside the torpedo  tube.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m waiting for his article with Andrew Erickson regarding Chinese supersonic ASCMs to come out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, I saw a good article that Chris Carlson posted on USNI regarding Yuan Submarine.
