For other chinese submarine sites, check these locations:

* Lushun Naval Base (38°47'50.78"N, 121°14'38.72"E)
* Bohai (Huludao) Shipyard (40°43'5.04"N, 120°59'45.69"E)
* Qingdao Naval Shipyard (36° 4'25.36"N, 120°18'21.47"E)
* Qingdao Naval Base (36° 5'44.19"N, 120°18'47.24"E)
* Zhenhai Naval Base (29°53'53.12"N, 121°57'55.87"E)
* Xizhou Naval Base (29°32'8.64"N, 121°46'13.22"E)

The naval base on the southern tip of Hainan Peninsula ( 18°12'30.06"N, 109°40'48.62"E) does not show submarines yet, but has interesting features including a large sea-entrance into an underground facility. A Han-class SSN has been photographed at the base in the past.

It also has a lot of sensitive US locations and interests as well. I remember a few years ago looking up a few places and yep, there they were :lol:

stay out of area 51... :mrgreen:

technology is amazing. a few years ago, we would have been depending on the military for information like this. now, the military is depending on google. (yeah, right, as if they didn't know before this image was published, but still...)
