The contents of your briefs R
From USSR with love
Yu means fish, in case of the torpedo name. Yuan is the name of a Chinese dynasty, so is Qing, Ming, Han, Tang, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Song, Jin, Wei, etc. Chinese tends to use names of major cities for surface ships, especially capital ships, and dynasty names for modern submarines. Note: these Chinese pronunciations is not unique to any single Chinese character. You slaughtered almost all the Chinese pronunciations XD.
or not... should have waited 12 secs...
Sorry I'm late to the party! Is it me or does the periscope look like it has a conventional eyepiece above the camera, level with the brim of the guys hat at 30mins. It looks like a conventional penetrating mast with basic photographic ability.

Hi Jive. Great vid. In depth research. Keep it up! Just one thing, a small typo: It's the "Yuan", not "Yaun"
That is why US is going to be littering the ocean with drone subs
It does look like China is upping its game still further. 20 or so of these lurking about is going to be a significant headache for anyone operating a navy in that part of the world
China Copied sub parts, I am shocked.
If you make a short version of this video(promotional for your channel) so that I can place in our twotigersonemountain.com and warhappens.com? Like a quickie video with some meat and potato but not complete obviously. We have a few thousand subs that might like your stuff and become patreon.
i admire you

Outstanding and professional brief as always. Fascinating to hear that China has a submarine shipyard basically in the middle of the country, I always assumed they designed them in Wuhan and built them by the ocean. I think back in 06 there was an incident where one of the Songs surfaced in the middle of a carrier group, I was interested in your take on that.
Another excellent sub brief Jive, hope you're getting nicely settled in and looking forward to more videos! o7
