WU-CHANG SHIPYARD LOCATION : WU-CHANG, CHINA GEO COORDS: 30-32N 114-17E 1. Unidentified activity on building way. An unidentified light-toned object can be seen protruding from beneath a series of weather sheds. This object, with a width of approximately I I is suggestive of submarine construction activity. The distance from this object to the end of the sheds nearest the transverser is approximately 260 feet. This way was previously occupied by two unidentified patrol craft. 2. Two unidentified patrol craft (visible LOA approx 90'). Both units are partially shed/canvas covered. The unit on the end of the way furthest from the transverser has a canvas covering over its midsection while the vessel on the end of the way nearest the transverser is approximately 75 percent shed covered with only the bow exposed. Similar appearing units have been seen under construction on the adjacent building way. 3. Unidentified activity on building way. This way is covered by a series of weather sheds which have a length of approximately 365 feet. The sheds have two possible openings along their length; however, shadows from these sheds over the openings preclude a determination of any activity. These sheds have a width of approximately while the sheds which cover the unidentified activity descrl e in annotation 1 above have a width of approximately 4. Unidentified activity on building ways. Both these building ways are shed covered. A possible cylindrical object, with a diameter of approximately (annotation 4a), can be seen on its transverse axis between the sheds on the northern way. Possible cylindrical objects were noted on both the transverser near these ways and on the transverser cradle however, these objects were not annotates in that Pi R. 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 2 V tg1riRDP78T05161A001100010033-1 Approved or Release 2(T(GR 2S RE 1AO01 00010033-1 5.

"R/W" Class submarine (visible waterline length approx 250'). This submarine is obscured by the fitting-out barge. The only characteristics that can be identified are a narrow hull outline with the sail positioped approximately 90-95 feet aft of the bow and a possible bow sonar dome. No sail features can be discerned. 2. Unidentified patrol craft (LOA approx 90') alongside fitting-out barge. See annotation 2 (inset), Figure 3 of this re-port. This unit is similar in appearance to the two unidentified patrol craft seen under construction on the building ways (see annotation 2, Figure 2). This vessel is probably undergoing fitting-out but the exact status cannot be determined from this coverage. 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 216RECI ff DP78TO5161AO01100010033-1 CLANG, CHINA PO-6 ZMV22/1 1I&RDl TOP SECRET Approved For Release 2003/12/19 : CIA-RDP78TO5161AO01100010033-1 Approved F or Release 2003/12!
