OK, I'm stumped! You folks ID this!
 

A friend sent these pictures to me and I can't seem to identify this class of submarine.

... Oberon stop laughing! :O: Even Jack Ryan has limits to his Knowledge!

I dunno but heard it was spotted off the coast of florida the other day :cool:

I have no idea, typing in Google 'submarine 168' didn't help brought up a Swedish sub but was much larger than the one pictured

Forgot to mention but its most likely Chinese built, note the Komar/Hoku class missile boat behind it.

Where are the picture...
 

from? looks not as a Swedish sub,maybe a small one in Italy!
:lurk:

Isn't that the Rustbukkit-class? :D

Seems to be lacking a means of propulsion! I think I saw one at Disneyland. :shucks:

Nope not a COSMOS built sub either. Checked those already.

Look closely at the last picture you will see a tiny circle that has been patched, that must be where the shaft for the prop was.

Uh, I don't know?... Maybe Rosie O'donnell's bath toy! :hmmm:

I don't know but it is a cool looking submarine. I would love to take a look inside.

I'm guessing from the web address that it's in China somewhere. Buggered if I can tell what it is though.

maybe a chinese one:hmmm:

Never seen one of these. It looks like some sort of coastal submarine, too big for a midget sub but way too small for a normal submarine, yet I have never heard of China using anything of the sort...

That is a very weird sub what ever it is. I don't see anywhere where bow or stern planes were mounted, I also don't see any mountings where a screw would have fit (which i would expect to be ahead of the rudder). Small one too, Seems to be about 12-14 meters long (from the markings on the nose the rails around are about 1m tall)

What an eclectic website :88)
