Tres Interessant, it's a pity we can't get a shot from the other side of the hull. It's possible it's to slot in a DF-21, that'll make it the first SSB that's been afloat in quite a few years. Got to be a testing stage though, SSBs haven't been around for a while for a reason, although in the shallow waters in the strait...dunno...could be a game changer. Personally I'm surprised the Chinese haven't spoken to Tupolev about getting some Tu-22M3s to bolster their ranks, the H-6 certainly can't be relied upon to get close enough to a CVBG to launch one of their ASMs.
