Would anybody be able to do a basic translation?

[swifty]

I don't speak any of the Asian languages but it is east to match the type with the name:
People's Liberation Army Navy:

• Type 03 class (Whiskey) (decommissioned)
• Type 031 class (Golf) (SSB)
• Type 033 class (Romeo)
• Wuhan class (Type 033G, license built Romeo)
• Ming class (Type 035/based on Romeo)
• Song class (Type 039)
• Yuan class (Type 041?)
• Kilo class
• Han class (Type 091) (SSN)
• Xia class (Type 092) (SSBN)
• Shang class (Type 093) (SSN)
• Jin class (Type 094) (SSBN)

The rest of it appears to be:
year built; Sub Length height and width; torpedo tube size and # of tubes,
Another year; ?,?; crew size.

From google:

米 = M (meters)
類型 = type
人 = People

you might try asking in the japanese section.

Been a long time since I've spoken Chinese and I was never that good at reading/writing it, but if you want to wait a few days I can do it.

As an old sonarman from the 70's those are very interesting pictures we could only hear them and see no evil ...

The last one is so noisy (and ugly) they couldn't leave port without being detected.

Yeh, they havent succeeded in making an attractive sub have they...

Nice pictures, some look like a big whale of a sub
