25X1A
The Lu-shun-kou Complex, China is located on the
southern coast or the Liao-tung Pan-tao (pen._tn_sUl~ which extends between
the Po Hoi (G of Chih-li) and. the Korean Bay at 38-48N 121-16E. This
area is also own as Port Arthur.
The port omplex is located along the southwestern coast of the urban
25X1A area and is di ded in 3 separate s? the Naval Base and Shipyard
25X1A the Submarine Base and the Port Facilities.
This report will deal only with these units oft a port complex and will
make no attempt to include either the area coastal defense, installations or
surrounding naval activity. Only those vessels, not thougbtto be assigned
to these bases, will have notations under the status column. All other
vessels will b assumed to be in an operational status and home ported here.-
The port facilities (Figure 2) are located along the northeastern shore
of Hsi Chiang (Bay) and consist of 2 piers, 1 L-Head pier, 1 sm tl T-Head
pier, 1 offshore wirf and a quayed area. One small pier was removed during
the period of comparative coverage. Only vessels that have a military
conotation will be listed under the port?facilities and no attempt will be
made to identify the numerous tugs, yard craft and barges.
Two wharves and two piers have rail and road access, however, the rail
spurs appear to be utilized mainly for the supply of coal to the area
rather than the transfer of stores and supplies at dockside. All remaining
facilities have. road access. A possible program of harbor improvement may
25X1 D - have been taking place as of II as a dredge is located offshore from
the port facilities. It can not be determined if the dredge is in operation.
The Naval Base and Shipyard (Figure 3) is located on Tung-Chiang (Bay)
and surrounds the bay except for the entrance/exit. Facilities consist of
2 graving docks, 3 building/repair ways, 1 pier, 1 T-Head pier, 1 mole, and
numerous;quayed areas. Handling facilities consist of'3 portal Jib cranes.
Five buildings and 2 rows of 5 horizontal tanks each were removed during
the period of comparative coverage while 9 buildings and 2 rows of 7
horizontal tanks each were added. The horizontal tanks may be the same
tanks as those removed, however, they are in a different location.

 This base and shipyard is used almost exclusively for the repair-and
modification of vessels. Expansion of facilities in this yard is in
progress in the southeastern section with 6.new buildings constructed during
the period of comparative coverage and large amounts of building material
in open storage.
The Submarine Base (Figure 4) is located along the southern coast of
Hsi Chiang (Bay) and along the Lao-hu-wei Pan-tao (Peninsula). -Facilities
consist of 4 piers. This base is divided into 2 areas with the operations
area being on the north-coast of the peninsula and immediately adjacent to
the water while the support area is located in the middle of the peninsula
and connected to the operations area by road.
Only minor changes have taken place at this base with'15 buildings
constructed and 6 tent-like structures with possible solid walls have been
removed.
